Is this one of those horrible cheapo cards that needs to have some firmware
uploaded on boot-up?
You can bet the firmware itself won't be DFSG compliant, but it's almost
certainly a statutory fair use exemption under copyright law to make a copy
for the purpose of using a piece of hardware which you rightfully own and
which won't work without it. {I'm assuming the carton in which it arrived
was labelled "Network adaptor" and not "Ornament".} Anyway, it's not like
your copy is costing them sales ..... if anything, it's encouraging more
sales.
Then it's just a case of extracting the firmware from the Windows driver CD,
and hacking up some existing firmware uploader with the correct addresses.
