Bug Description
This is a reopened bug report related to #1716673: Apple Facetime HD PCI (Broadcom 1570) not accessible
The camera still is not accessible. In the old report some suggested that I should try the latest kernel. Well, with 18.10 the kernel is even newer than the one available at the time of reporting.
If no one writes a driver for the camera, there will never be a module for it.
The module that ships with Ubuntu is not working.
I do understand that rolling out a new version is tedious. But it should be possible to
a) not permanently produce regressions and
b) include some improvements beyond some irrelevant GUI overhauls.
btw. My machine was purchased in 2015. I don't think that PCIe is such a new technology.
(sorry for my serious frustration about 18.10. I thought with 18.04 onward Canonical might have cought on)
