Build Identifier: 

On my Macbook with integrated isight webcam using last firmware from Apple, i
can't use the isight due to an error with the firmware loading.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge linux-uvc-0.0.1_pre51
2.copy the firmware from MacOsX
3.modprobe uvcvideo

Actual Results:  
It gives the following error message:
Sha1sum check on firmware file failed

The module gets loaded but the isight doesn't work in ekiga



The iSight works using the latest patch (-e version) from Ronald S. Bultje
(http://people.freedesktop.org/~rbultje/). But there seems to be a little error
in the patch which prevents the creation of the extract.c file.

Created attachment 103289 [details, diff]
corrected iSight patch

This is the patch from http://people.freedesktop.org/~rbultje/ but with a modification to create the exctract.c
