Could be a typical WinGadget problem, where certain functionality has
been moved from the firmware to Windows-only drivers. Why manufacturers
bother with that nonsense is a mystery. I refuse to believe the excuse
that it reduces the price significantly, if at all, and if it does then
I'd happily pay the additional 0.01 it costs to implement the feature
properly, in the firmware where it belongs.
