I've not found it anywhere - I can't find the device itself even on the

It's a USB device and not listed in lspci.
"lsusb" gives me a device ID of 1286:1fab, and "lsusb -v -d1286:" gives me

Not sure what to expect, but "iwlist wlan0 scan #" gives me:

I'm pretty sure the wlan is using wep not wpa (I didn't set it up).
Neither wpa_supplicant or waproamd is running (I'd never heard of them
until now!)

The lack of info under Windows is one reason why I avoid wireless in
most cases (since that's where I'd have to configure it most often).
