Bug#398451: linux-uvc-tools: udev rule for iSight firmware loading

[Julien BLACHE]

Package: linux-uvc-tools
Version: 0.1.0.svn54-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I use the following udev rule for automatic firmware loading at boot:

-
# Firmware loading rule for the Apple built-in iSight camera

# Note: Product ID is 8501 when the firmware is loaded, 8300 otherwise
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="05ac", 
SYSFS{idProduct}=="8300", RUN+="/usr/sbin/macbook-isight-firmware-loader 
/lib/firmware/AppleUSBVideoSupport"
-

(copied AppleUSBVideoSupport from the OS X kext, of course)

Would be a nice thing to have by default ;)

JB.

The plan is to use kernel firmware-loader interface and get the thing
loaded in the usual kernel interface, but it might be a nice idea to
do this in the interim, yes.

Yep, it's in the in-the-meantime-it's-nice-to-have dept ;)
