Same issue as pv_milk. When is this going to be fixed? Do you need any info?

[Felix Leimbach (felix-leimbach)]

Same error message here:
=> isight firmware tools 1.5.90
=> Macbook 6,1 (Late 2009)
=> AppleUSBVideoSupport from OS X 10.6.2 (md5sum: b9d1edbe566c726c3baa5354b0bbae96)

Hi.

The firmware say it sizes 16453 instead of 32769. Half the size, that's quite odd. The binary patches may not apply. You should ask driver developers. They might know.

Do you have info about such optimisation of iSight firmware by Apple ?

Needs some more info to tell if we should support a new firmware for isight.
