Dear Étienne,

thanks a lot for the clarification. It took me a while to figure out when the problem actually occurs.

You are correct, of course:
a) Cold starting the machine directly into linux: iSight reports 05ac:8300, bus 1, device 4.
   The camera works after loading the firmware, isight then reports 05ac:8501, bus 1, device 15

b) Rebooting the machine (warm boot) back into linux: iSight then reports 05ac:8501, bus 1, device 4.
  The camera works without loading the firmware.

The problem occurs only when:
c) I cold start Mac OS X (happens mostly by mistake) until the login screen appears. I do not login and I do not use the iSight. I then do a warm reboot into linux and the iSight reports: 05ac:8501, bus 1, device 4
  However, the camera does *not* work unless I load the firmware with ift-load.

The lsusb -v output is different in case b) and c). I have attached the output of lsusb for all three cases in the attachment.

It seems that Mac OS (I still have 10.4) is doing something nasty to my camera.

With best regards,
Markus

P.S.: I will upgrade to 1.4.2 right away ;-)
