Overview

This device is mislabeled with the wrong FCC ID.

NDD9573170407 defines an Envara WiND adapter, however, the HWU54D rev Z is a ZyDAS based adapter.

Revision Z may have a serial number with format HEMTU54DZ_______.
The original version may have a serial number with the format HEMTU54D_______.

If my calculations are correct, the RFMD model serial follows HEMTU54DZ04_____ convention and the Airoha model serial follows HEMTU54DZ05_____ convention, but this is certainly not confirmed.
