On the UVC device driver website only the Sweex WX060 is mentioned.
Did you try manually inserting the uvc kernel module (and make sure no 
other webcam module is loaded)? (modprobe -v uvc)

Looking at the specs of the WC250 HD it has a VC0342 chip which seems 
UVC compatible so uvc should theoretically be the right 
driver:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.uvc.devel/5880/match=vc0342

If the webcam is not recognized maybe it's just a matter of adding 
177f:0250 identifier to the UVC driver code, recompile and try again but 
that implies that you know how to do that.
