Because nobody have a clue about the solution ? Because nobody have an
anwser. Because your webcam DOESN'T USE THE SAME PROTOCOL than the pwc
driver ?.

Look at the spca5xx driver
Chipset Vimicro zc0302 sensor Pas202Bcb
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html
for a list of known webcams


Unfortunately, they are not a lot of developpers that make webcam drivers.
They are a lot of different devices, it's difficult to contact webcam vendors
to have specification, you need to buy the webcam to made the driver, time to
understand the protocol if you don't have the spec, time to test, answer the
driver .... I maintain pwc driver in my free time, it's not my primary jobs.
Since 6 month, i try to write a driver for my pci wifi card, so all this
process takes times. If you really want your webcam supported, please made a
contract with an entreprise or someone to write the driver.
