Just a comment... the firmware is not available in the isight-firmware-
tools package, it is extracted from a driver that is located on your OS
X partition. I do believe this bug is not valid anymore however.

The new isight_firmware module doesn't load isight.fw
I extracted the firmware (isight.fw) using isight-firmware-tools and copied it to /lib/firmware.
Don't know why it doesn't load it. This should not be a duplicate of bug #185634 as the 2.6.26 kernel has a new isight_firmware module. Hope this gets finally fixed for intrepid release.
