Looks like that is the case. In that case you can try one of the 
alternate options to get the firmware. Were you able to find out which 
chip your adapter uses as I had suggested earlier? If you have that 
info, you can try looking for it in here

The other option left for you would be to extract the firmware from the 
windows binary that came with the product. This page from the Prism54 
Project page might be of help.
