a) open the device or
b) search for its FCC ID on http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/
   and look at the internal photos.
c) search the firmware / Windows utility for any helpful readable string.

Have a look at the Atmel WLAN chip family at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=657

IMHO the chance to have an Atmel chipset inside your device is rather
small (unless the manufacturer put some additional chip inside):
the only Atmel chip with USB are the AT76C503/505(A), which lack
any on-chip Ethernet interface.

Please post your findings!
