Check if it's compiled by default:
=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep PWC /boot/config-2.6.18*
CONFIG_USB_PWC=m
# CONFIG_USB_PWC_DEBUG is not set
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
=====
The value for CONFIG_USB_PWC should be 'm' or 'y'.

Depending of the CONFIG_USB_PWC value: if it's 'y' the driver is
compiled into the kernel and so it's always available (no need to
insert the module).
If it's 'm' (which is normally the mostly seen situation for kernel
prepared by different GNU/Linux distributions), the module should be
load (manually by you or by udev, for example). Thus, when you plug
in the webcam, insert the module as root:
modprobe pwc
Then check the dmesg (or syslog) output to be sure it was correctly
loaded and it has recognized your webcam.
