About all I can do to help here is to say that the pwc driver does install 
under 2.6 kernels - I've done it but only with a vanilla kernel.
I'm assuming from the 7.111 bit that you're not building with a vanilla kernel 
- I'd be tempted to try it with the most recent vanilla kernel just to see 
what happens.
