It's contained in a compressed form in one of the CAB files (Driver.cab I think).

One way to get it is to manually extract all the files from the CAB using the "expand" command

i.e. expand cab file name -fwdmaud.drv Destination

You will need to put the fully qualified name for the CAB location e.g. c:\windows\i386\driver.cab
