Looks like that is the case. In that case you can try one of the
alternate options to get the firmware. Were you able to find out which
chip your adapter uses as I had suggested earlier? If you have that
info, you can try looking for it in here
http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/
The other option left for you would be to extract the firmware from
the windows binary that came with the product. This page from the
Prism54 Project page might be of help.

driver it needs.
