O.K. after loading the latest uvcvideo, the issue is still prevalent.,
Hopefully I explain to you so you can get an
idea of what I'm seeing: on a cold boot the isight_firmware and
uvcvideo are not binding, but If after the system starts from the cold
boot, with
isight_firmware and uvcvideo not binding, a simlple rmmod and modprobe
of the two modules will bind the two. then with a reboot
the two will almost certainly stay binded, but if instead of a reboot
a shutdown -h now. upon starting up the two won't be binded anymore.
almost as if the firmware is loading in the wrong location, but am
uncertain how that area works.
Hope this helps you, better see the problem I'm looking at.
regards;
