force a usb driver onto a unsupported hardware

I have a usb webcam that is not supposed to be supported by the pwc driver (not in the list of the product IDs in the driver source).

Is there anyway I can force the module to try to handle the device when I do a modprobe ?

You could look here: http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ and contact the maintainer to add the webcam to the code.
