I have checked the hardware ID after correctly following the link you gave me and it says in the value box within the "Hardware ID" tab of the device properties:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_02081028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_02081028
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&CC_0280
In device manager the wifi card is listed under "Other devices" as "Network Controller" with a yellow symbol that shows an exclamation mark next to it.

Does it display in the device manager as a network controller? Is the hardware ID?
pci\ven_168c&dev_002b
pci\ven_168c&dev_002b&subsys_02041028
