As I said, the FCC info may not help. But sometimes it does -- it might help you discover that device Foo contains an Xyz1234 chip, for which specs or a driver is available. (I got an old cheap digital camera whose USB ID was unrecognized to work this way.) Sometimes the info is more useful to hardware hackers than driver writers.

It doesn't cost anything but a little time to look.
