Belkin F5D7010 Wireless-G Notebook Adapter

Info

Debian sid/i386, kernel 2.6.7/9, Inspiron 2650. Tried the linux driver (v1.4.3.0) from http://www.ralinktech.com/ – module loaded, interface created, but settings for iwconfig don’t get committed. Tried to get NDIS driver off CD but couldn’t locate/extract INF file. Finally tried NDIS driver for another card using RT2500 (the A-Link above), and (so far) it has worked wonderfully.

Belkin F5D7010 54g (802.11g and 802.11b capable) 32-bit CardBus wireless card

  • Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
  • pciid: 14e4:4320 (rev 03)
  • Driver: ‘For older Fedora 3 systems:’ files/Drivers/WinMe98/bcmwl5a.inf on the installation CD worked with Fedora kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 and slightly older with ndiswrapper 0.12. Slightly newer kernels required upgrading to ndiswrapper 1.1 final. (WinXP2K/bcmwl5.inf did NOT work.) ‘For modern Fedora 4 systems:’ Driver from http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R94827.EXE (can be unpacked with “unzip” to find bcmwl5a.inf) works with kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 and ndiswrapper-1.8-0.lvn.1.4 (you can install this using “yum” if you have the livna repository set up) but gives warning “Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2”. Driver on installation CD segfaults on “modprobe”, but Giri says this should be fixed in CVS version of ndiswrapper as of 30 Jan 2006.

Info

See Distributions for details on how to get this particular card working with a Fedora Core 4 install.
