Hi Hector, I'll not be close to my box until wednesday, so I can't give you the whole steps to patch the ubuntu kernel source. Nevertheless you can use the package available in that blog entry: http://files.i-nz.net/projects/linux-kernel/isight/uvcvideo-isight.tar.gz

You just need to unpackage it, have linux-headers installed, do a make and sudo make install

I think this will substitute the other driver (may come first in the list while loading), but you can also delete the one you listed and issue a depmod -a to rebuild the list.

The patch no longer holds to the latest linux-uvc svn version, but the package has the right version (100).

Tell us if it works ok.

It would be nice if this landed on feisty before release, since it builds perfectly with the uvc version Ben added, but there must've been too low interest or something to have a working iSight on default install, guess the goal to have good MacBook support wasn't really important. At least this bug report was ignored.
