Yes it does. If the module loading scheme changes yet again (and it
seems to be doing so every week or so, these days :-), then there's
every chance that the pwcx module won't work, at which point, you'll
just have to wait until the vendor releases an updated version. Or is
the webcam still usable without that module?
