I don't know if that will help

I use GM with creative webcam which use pwc module

to use it i should modify the option in the kernel config and run make 
modules and modules_install.

the option is on first menu you de select only drivers expected to 
compile cleanly

after you will see in device drivers /usb you wil be able to select 
phlips module
