Sometimes the customer doesn't want to bother branding it so they just use the generic manual. The only way to find the real manufacturer is through the FCC ID.

I usually take the largest chip on the card, look for something that looks like a part number, and stick it in there. 9 times out of 10, I get the manufacturer's page. ^_^ "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
