In this case: Extract the rar file Extract the installshield archive (I use a small program I based on the internals of http://www.synce.org/index.php/Orange) Extract the installshield cabinet files with unshield from ports .inf contains things like: %MRVL833810.DeviceDesc% = W833810USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_1286&PID_1FAB MRVL833810.DeviceDesc = "Tenda TWL541U Wireless LAN Client Adapter - USB" So it is a Marvell device, but Marvell are so misguided as to not even list their own products on their webpage. But all it not lost, want.html contains: "Marvell based SDIO Wireless cards and Marvell based USB adaptors, for example the Xbox360 wireless adaptor needed in Switzerland.

I already have a udav device but they aren't terribly common so if another developer wants to take it to play with great. People shouldn't expect terribly high speeds out of these things though as they aren't USB2 devices.
