Put the following script into /etc/kernel/postinst.d/99-install-facetime-camera.sh which will update each time the kernel gets updated, then run once “/etc/kernel/postinst.d/99-install-facetime-camera.sh $(uname -r)” to start it. I needed to reboot before it worked.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
export CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n
export CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=n
export KERNELRELEASE=${1}
echo "Installing FacetimeHD camera for $KERNELRELEASE"
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
cd bcwc_pcie/firmware
make
make install
cd ..
make
make install
rm -rf /tmp/bcwc_pcie
if [ ! -d "/etc/modules-load.d" ]; then
mkdir -p "/etc/modules-load.d"
fi
cat > "/etc/modules-load.d/facetimehd.conf" << EOL

echo "Install complete."
