That was just a DKMS package anyway, i.e. a package which automates building 
the module from source, not a real binary package. It's probably not much 
harder to just go directly to the source:
http://saillard.org/linux/pwc/

Make sure you have kernel-devel installed (the version corresponding to your 
kernel, including architecture, see also bug #211941), then follow the 
instructions in the source code to build the module. If there are any errors 
when building the module for the current kernel, we can probably tell you how 
to fix them. (I know a few of the common ones, at least.)
