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

Bisection complete! After testing numerous settings for BoardFlags, I found that the only ones to have a benefical effect on the card is 0x4049/0x4249 and 0x0048/0x0248, which differs from the original 0x0049 only in the BFL_BTCMOD bit, which is 0 by default, but 1 in this configuration.

That's *exactly* what I am doing at this moment. Here are my findings so far: WL-138G V2 comes with BoardFlags=0x0049. That would mean, no Afterburner (among other things), even though Asus specifically advertises this card as supporting Afterburner. When I set it to0x6A49, the card suddenly comes
