Bug Description

In 4.13.0-10 the Apple Facetime HD PCI camera cannot be accessed.
No drivers available.

I followed Patrik Jacobssons installation (https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie). It works fine (with a glitch in color decoding related to Gstreamer on my machine).

It would be nice if this was part of the default installation in 17.10.

The bug is not fixed there.

there is no driver compiled into the kernel for this device and there is
no loadable module available either.

Sorry but there still is no driver for the PCIe Facetime camera, neither within the kernel or as a loadable module.

For me this is not expired but still a constant source of aggravation.
