Belkin 54g Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D7000UK)
- Chipset:
- pciid:
- Driver: Standard belkin driver
Info
Just added this so that people know that the UK variation can be used. I used the standard belkin driver, but you need to install it to somewhere in windows to extract the relevant sys and inf files. Works like a charm with fedora core 2 and fedora core 3 (though with fc3 you will need to download the kernel source rpm as it doesn’t come with the standard package).
Finally works on my system (the card says “version 1133uk”, Debian woody, kernel 2.4.28, ndiswrapper 0.11, Dell drivers, hand-compiled wirless-tools v27). Here are a few hints if you’re having trouble:
- try different combinations of ndiswrapper version and driver (Belkin, Dell).
- make sure wireless extension version of your wireless-tools matches the one of ndiswrapper (Debian woody wireless-tools were too old, iwconfig wouldn’t work), see http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.htm for more information.
- wireless won’t work if your machine also has another network card connected to the same network.
