Are you using the stock pwc.ko or did you recompile
the Saillard.org pwc.ko latest snapshot?  If you
recompiled, did you do a 'make install', or copy the
new pwc.ko to the peoper kernel modules directory, and
delete the stock pwc.ko file?  Notice the 'make
install' will put the new pwc.ko into a different
subdirectory than the stock pwc.ko module file.

Also note that when you compile the pwc module it will
be much bigger, and I personally don't recommend doing
any stripping down of it if you want full
functionality.   The compiled version is 600k-800k or
so while the stock version with fc6 is around 90k.
Example I needed it to support fully my SPC900NC
webcam (ToUcam Pro III) and the stock driver won't
support the LED functions correctly, but recompiled
Saillard snapshot will.
