WinXP driver for 360 play & charge kit / wired headset?

UPDATE: Now looking to get the wired headset an official driver. USB Audio is what windows picks when you do the automatic install. Yet other 360 devices (wireless headset, play and charge kit) get proper named non-generic drivers.
Anybody know if there's a driver to get this thing working (IE, passing a current through to charge a 360 controller)?
Seems like bit of an oversight if there isn't.
It doesn't appear to be charging (the light isn't on), and Windows wants a driver for it.
Controller/wireless receiver work just great otherwise.

Dunno why it'd ask for a driver, though. The kit isn't used for communication, and as far as I know, the USB standard doesn't require any driver to access the +5v.
perhaps WinXP just disables current flow to usb devices where it has no driver whatsoever?
I'm fully aware
Also, with the Xbox 360 Accessories driver installed (used for the wired controller, wireless controller, receiver, and wireless headset) it detects a WIRED headset as being the 360 one (it says so) but can't actually find a named driver for that either. If you proceed with the automatic driver installation it'll use a generic USB audio one for it - removing the specific 360 headset name.
I have a 3rd party cable that works fine
this post is not helpful
a 3rd party play and charge cable?
You can charge your controller using that plugged into one of your computer's USBs?
it doesn't ask for anything
it's a nyko, I believe
I let Windows do it's automated search for what it at first only considered to be a "USB device"
but somehow it did find the official proper driver for it.
It appears in the same device manager category as the Wireless Receiver, "XBOX 360 Peripherals" at the end after USB devices.
It's called Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit. Which is a bit funny, because it's acting like it's a driver for the controller and not the cable - which makes sense in way. Though it also implies the controller is connected via that cable, when it is not.
Also the gamepad does NOT appear in the same category, causing further confusion. It appears as a generic HID gamepad device in the HID category.
Lastly, what color is the play & charge kit LED supposed to be? Red while charging, green when charged?
I was going to suggest downloading the controller driver, but I didn't think it made any sense. weird.
I'm not sure where Windows found a driver for it in the end, whether it was part of that or possibly separate from the net or what.
Also the LED thing?
battery started out empty, now says "low" - seems to be working.
mmmm sexy black wireless controller with matching sexy black wireless receiver (from ZX-6000 lifechat kit) to match sexy black pc
I always knew that it carried more than just power with the P & C kit.
Edit: Crap; it's not showing up under games controllers in the control panel. How do I de-pair it from my 360?
either "xbox 360 accessories" at the end of device manager for most of the stuff, the controllers show up under Human Interface Devices (HID)
