I have the same problem with the isight and uvcvideo.

Are we supposed to extract the firmware with the isight-firmware-tools? This package can be obtained at

http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/

There is also an Ubuntu package by Etienne Bersace at

http://ppa.launchpad.net/bersace/ubuntu/pool/main/i/isight-firmware-tools/isight-firmware-tools_1.0.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1_i386.deb

The package seems to be pretty recently updated, so I assume that there is some use for it?

The driver appears however to be looking explicitly for the file AppleUSBVideoSupport and not isight.fw that the isight-firmware-tools extracts.

The situation is not entirely clear to me..
