Bug Description

Binary package hint: isight-firmware-tools

I have a MacBook 2,1 and a firmware copied from Tiger.
ift-extract tells me that the firmware has been sucessfully installed and I have an isight.fw file in /lib/firmware/.
But programs like Cheese or Flash still tell me that I don't have any webcam.

And now it does not work again !
Would it be possible that there is a problem loading the firmware at launch ?
