You can get some pretty detailed information on a generic device if it has an FCC code on it. This indicates that it was certified for use in the USA and by going to: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/help.html
You can find out who made the device and other interesting info.

If you have a no name card, with no idea who or what made it, and equally
no clue as to the drivers needed, I am afraid you have a big problem.
If you could figure out the brand of it, or what
taiwanese/singapore/indian company made it, you could still stand a
chance. Otherwise my bets would be on a pcmcia card that is supported by
Linux. I know this is not the answer you want.
