install ndiswrapper Belkin F5D700 in Fedora 7


Hello All,
I am having problems connecting to the Internet with my PC. I am currently running a dual boot via GRUB and I have two hard-drives, respectively. I have been successful in connecting to the Internet with my XP HD, but cannot with Fedora 7 installed with my other hard drive. I have researched "ndiswrapper" and downloaded it successfully but cannot make heads or tails of what to do with it. My wireless NIC is a Belkin F5D7000. When I go into system>administrator>networking in Fedora Core 7 I do not know what to do. Could someone please tell me in detail what I should do to get my Internet connection stable with Fedora Core 7? I have read a couple of tutorials concerning this matter and cannot seem to make it work. Thank you for your time.

Depending on your chipset you might be able to use MadWifi instead, it's going to be a more smoother process for you that way.

Look here and see if they have your card:

find out your chipset by using
Code:
lspci -v

Come again?

Thanks exkor5000,
I am curious, though- Am I supposed to put this command in Terminal? ("lspci -v")I tried to do it and I got the bash:not recognized command response. Also, I went to the hyperlink for Madwifi and didn't fully understand what it was saying. Is it a file I need to download? Basically I'm asking how do I find out my chipset? Once I find out my chipset what do I do after that?

Many thanks again.
