Or you at least have bought one with the right label!

Bell Technologies sells this under their own name, with drivers for System
V/286 or 386 and Xenix 286/386/SCO/IBM.

Unfortunately for you, rumour has it they have very slightly modified the
controller to allow their driver to distinguish their own version from the
generic version to prevent anyone from pirating the software.
