I'm actually just installing Tahr as we speak and after a quick Google it seems that Apple no longer use a USB camera for iSight anymore, rendering the USB firmware workaround you're trying useless. As far as I can tell there is no current workaround. I'm aware this is a very late response, but it may help others who come across this page.

Hi I just used the first link you provided to get mine working. I think it's all in the syntax of your command line statements. If you have the path to your files wrong than it won't work. It took me a while to work through the instructions but in the end I figured it out and it works. So any one reading this post just take note. And if you mess up you have to clean the mess up as mentioned in the link. I had to mount another on of my macbooks with a live cd to get the file needed. Moved it to a usb drive and then to my Ubuntu Studio. My paths where different than the instructions have and I had to figure that out before it worked. You have to make the script file and have it as part of the startup. They explain that but I didn't have the program installed so I had to install it to. I'm running 12.4 with latest updates FYI. It took me about a day of reading and careful testing before I had the cam working. but I'm slow lol.
