The ebuild installs a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/isight.rules which calls ift-load for the firmware-less device. However on my MacBook Pro C2D the tool needs to know the Bus and Device ID (from lsusb): ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="05ac", SYSFS{idProduct}=="8300", RUN+="/usr/lib/udev/ift-load -b 001 -d 003 --firmware /lib/firmware/isight.fw" Otherwise it doesn't work. Maybe just wrap the ift-load call in a shell script that uses the output of lsusb to obtain those numbers: P=$(lsusb | awk '$6=="05ac:8300" { print "-b " $2 " -d " substr($4,1,3); }') if [ ! -z "${P}" ]; then ift-load ${P} --firmware /lib/firmware/isight.fw fi Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Thank you. I think this was fixed with the version bump.
2.6.26 will feature an iSight firmware loader in the kernel. So this whole udev rule will no longer be necessary.
