Additional Notes

just unzip and go..

This driver actually works for this card, unlike drivers found searching for the main chip model #!, which happened to be EN5251B on my card, but might vary.

(and yet the actual model # of the card is nearly unreadable on the back, go figure!)

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
