Start the module with
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
To avoid having to do this every time it boots, bcm2835-v4l2 was added to /etc/modules/ so that the module is loaded at startup. The camera then shows up as /dev/video0.

Note avahi-daemon can sometimes be a problem and consume 30% of the processing power. If this is the case, send it a sigkill.
