Step 1
Scribble down all the information you can find about your wireless device at this awesome database website.

Using my device as an example this is the most relevant information you need to write down on a piece of paper.

|---|---|
| Chipset | Sis162u USB |
| USB id | 2821 : 0161 |
Step 3
Find out where you can obtain your wireless device's relevant drivers. For instance my drivers could be found in the Wi-Fi installation CD for Windows XP.
