When running Linux in a VM with the facetimehd module, the device must explicitly be removed.

If the device is not removed upon a shutdown of the VM, the device becomes inoperable until a full reboot of the host. Inoperable here means that the error message "Init failed! No wake signal" occurs.

The wifi adaptor on my macbook also requires this patch, fyi: https://joshua.hu/brcmfmac-bcm43602-suspension-shutdown-hanging-freeze-linux-freebsd-wifi-bug-pci-passthru#linux

Hi, thanks for the fix. I took the liberty to change the subject to something more descriptive.

Also FYI, I've written a post about how to set this set up on FreeBSD: https://joshua.hu/facetimehd-webcam-linux-vm-macbook-freebsd-broadcom-1570
