Requesting Help - Belkin wireless

VeNT · 2 Dec 2010 at 20:37

gah! I can't get my belkin wireless card working on my ubuntu laptop
Belkin Wireless N1 F5D8011
I need the ini from the windows driver but I can't get it to run in wine or extract.
does anyone know where I can find the ini or have a copy/advice for me on this?
once I've got the ini I figure I can run it via ndiswrapper?

Google seems to suggest that it may well be supported by the MadWifi Linux drivers.

Worth giving them a shot : http://madwifi-project.org/ Although this may only be for the older versions which used the Atheros chipset.

If that doesn't work, can you post the output of lspci & lsusb.

EDIT: Is your card V3? If so I think it will use the Ralink RT2800 chipset, in which case you want to try the Rt2x00 linux drivers from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ which is down at the moment i think, but should be in your distros repos.

Ok, give this post & thread a read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6503726&postcount=4

The extracted driver files are attached so you can chuck them into ndiswrapper, f5d8001v2_ww_2.02.01_w2.tar.gz is what you want I think.
