*O/s: Fedora 10
Kernel: 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 11:58:53 EST 2008

USB Major information dealing with the WUSB54GC:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1737:0077 Linksys

bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00

I hope this is enough information, and will help me with this, as such I
have seen other distributions like Ubuntu working with this particular
USB stick(Google turns up a large resource, and it was using ndiswrapper
on the windows drivers where I found the chipset for the NIC).
