If you have already installed the USR5410 drivers, it's harder, maybe
nearly impossible.

Locate the .inf for this card, adn see if you can easily determine which
drivers *.sys, where copied to the Windows directories.  Make note of them,
or copy the .inf file to some place for later reference.

With the card installed, use whatever uninstall program the USR program
comes with, followed by going to the Windows Device Manger, and
uninstalling the device.  

Take the card out and reboot.  Go back to the Device Manager, click on
view, show hidden devices, and then go down to the network adapters and
verify that the card is not there.  Delete it if it is.

If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, from a clean start, you can
make some other connection to the internet, maybe wired.  Insert the new
card, and let Windows search the web for drivers.  Nothing from the
Wireless Maufacturer's CD, nor web site.

If it doesn't ask if it can search the web or look to  a CD, it is probably
using the drivers you already installed.  That might be okay.  If you still
don't like it, uninstall the card again, and move the *.sys files mentioned
in the .inf file out of the Windows directories, and try again.

You can look at the properties of the card to see what drivers were loaded.
