Also, is the fact that libusb works on Vista mean that if I load libusb as the driver for the adapter, I should be able to use the adapter as is?

The adapter firmware is really not "firm" in the sense of being stored
in non-volatile memory inside the adapter. Later versions of the
adapter did have a small EEPROM simply to identify the hardware as
"FlexRadio" instead of "Cypress", but that's just a cosmetic
enhancement. The driver always uploads the actual firmware to the
adapter CPU when the device is initialized. You don't have to worry
about which hardware version of the adapter you have.

So why don't you just try it and tell us what happens?
