According to the README of the Vista driver, the card supports Afterburner, but not SpeedBooster. SpeedBooster is only supported by WL-138gE. However, the page on asus.com about the card no longer talks about Afterburner support (it did, previously). So, the right overrides are 0x0048 for 14E4:4318:1043:100F, and 0x0248 for the WL-138gE version (14E4:4318:1043:120F if I remember correctly). (This message is a repost because I forgot to CC the list, as usual.)
