How to install

1. Make sure this is the right driver: open Device Manager (right-click Start → Device Manager), right-click your device → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids, and compare the value with the supported IDs below. See how to find a hardware ID.
2. The driver comes as a .cab package. Open Command Prompt as administrator in the download folder and unpack it:
   mkdir C:\Drivers\pkg
expand -F:* 7a4d3b65-036c-4180-837e-d964eda137ec_91430bcf2ff379ef054022b861a380b58d99fc52.cab C:\Drivers\pkg
   (Alternatively, double-click the .cab file, select all files and copy them to a folder.)
3. Install the driver: pnputil /add-driver C:\Drivers\pkg\*.inf /install — or in Device Manager right-click the device → Update driver → Browse my computer for drivers → select C:\Drivers\pkg.
4. Restart the computer and check that the device no longer shows a yellow warning sign in Device Manager.
