A lot depends on the actual device ID, as manufacturers sneakily change chipsets sometimes but keep the model name the same.

Not sure if you're using XP or Vista, but for XP get the vendor & device ID as follows:

1. Right click on My Computer & select Manage.

2. Select Device Manager.

3. Double click (or right click & choose Properties) on the USB network adapter

4. On the details tab, select Hardware Ids from the dropdown.

5. Post back the numbers after vid & pid
