A new beginning...

Well it seems that a device I have isn't supported by VISTA, or at least that's what the manufacturer says...
It is a DELL USB Wireless Adapter, Model 1450. It's a Tri-BAND adapter in a nice small form-factor. Well DELL say's its not supported and will not be supported by VISTA. Well they are right in one way, they will not write drivers for it, but guess what? The generic Conexant PrismGT Drivers do work with vista very well and they support the USB device (if you change 3 lines in the INF file)
Well here you go a working USB driver for the DELL Wireless 1450 USB Adapter, it may also help all you people with MAC's who have been trying to get this dang thing to work there too.. Just change the HWID from whatever it was to the one reported by the USB device: USB\VID_413C&PID_8104&REV_1050
Driver (the filename is the same as the original driver but the HW ID is modified and its marked to not use the CATALOG file so it becomes an unsigned driver)
