Hi,

It's a question I have aways asked myself: I did not installed any 
firmware (isight-firmware and so on).  But my camera works!

I imagine that this is because:
- either I installed linux-uvc-source from debian
- or, more probable, I used a messenger from OSX, and this has loaded 
the firmware inside the camera, so it is not necessary anymore to load 
it from linux <-- this is what you say in the previous message, isn't it?
