Winbond W89C35 VID:0416 PID:0035 USB Wireless Driver

Dear readers,

I’ve uploaded Windows XP driver for Winbond W89C35 as it can enable the use of Winbond USB wifi dongle (VID:0416 PID:0035) under Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

Follow the step-by-step instruction as outlined in the Ubuntu Wiki page, in order to use the driver with ndiswrapper.

p/s: I’ve uploaded this driver because I find a lot of websites out there that offers fake Winbond W89C35 drivers.

p/s 2: Of course I would recommend the rest of the users out there to buy a more Linux-friendly USB wifi dongle, such as from TP-Link
, D-Link, Netgear or TRENDnet which I found to be very portable across operating systems.
