Belkin Wireless Desktop Card (Rt2500)


Hi, everyone. I'm using Gentoo 2005.1 and a Belkin wireless-G card based on Ralink's Rt2500 chipset. I have tried DriverLoader, ndiswrapper and even Ralink's open source drivers. I'm pretty sure I'm just doing each one incorrectly...can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
NirJ

Hi,

What's your actual problem/error?

I just bought/installed the same card and had no problems whatsoever.

Used the ndiswrapper approach and only had one problem: I initially used the drivers on the install cd that came with the Belkin card, I needed the driver on the ndiswrapper sourceforge page

After following the installation page, all worked the way it should.

Hope this helps.

Hi me too, I found that the NDIS Wrapper worked well.
