Belkin pre-n card wont work on mandriva
I have a Belkin Pre-N (model F5D8010) that I am trying to use with Mandriva 2007. I used the driver that the ndiswrapper (version 1.21) wiki suggested and ndiswrapper states “driver installed, hardware present”, but when I use the utility to configure the interface it gives me two errors, “Unable to find the ndiswrapper interface!” and “Firmware files are required for this device.” and none of the lights come on as the wiki stated should happen. Below is my system log for during the time I used the configuration utility.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions
