I just pulled it, Made in Taiwan.

I have more info now.

The firmware IS loaded if I do an 'ifconfig eth1 up'.  Previously I
misread this as 'ifup' which would hit the config files.

Now when I try to associate it with an AP found w/ iwlist I get this in
iwevent:

21:15:09.916365   eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to
00:12:17:D8:AE:97  : REJECTED  (10)
21:15:09.916495   eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to
00:12:17:D8:AE:97  : REJECTED  (10)
21:15:09.916515   eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to
00:12:17:D8:AE:97  : REJECTED  (10)
21:15:09.916532   eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to
00:12:17:D8:AE:97  : REJECTED  (10)

Even though this AP has no security on it at all, and works for other
Linux wireless devices.

Now I am trying an Ralink device, so I will hit up the website for that
device.
