I'm also trying to get the Belkin wireless card running under RH9.0.

Model number: F5D6020 ver.2
FCCID: K7SF5D6021 (tag added to card here says: ver. 2101)

I've followed the very clear helpful directions posted on another thread
here and downloaded the atmel driver, compiled it and installed it.
(as warned, depmod -a shows unresolved references, but driver loads).
I've modified /etc/pcmcia/config and added the line:

device "pcmf502rd" class "network" module "pcmf502rd"

and the lines:

device "Belkin F5D6020 rev.2"
version "Belkin", "11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
manfid 0x01bf, 0x3302
bind "pcmf502rd"

and restarted pcmcia. However, when the card is inserted, I get
the 'failure' beep (low-pitch) and /var/log/messages shows:

Sep 23 10:07:21 dhcp-38-151 cardmgr[5053]: unsupported card in socket 0
Sep 23 10:07:21 dhcp-38-151 cardmgr[5053]: product info: "Belkin", "11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
Sep 23 10:07:21 dhcp-38-151 cardmgr[5053]: manfid: 0x01bf, 0x3302 function: 6 (network)

The driver is NOT loaded by cardmgr. Instead I have to load it by
hand: modprobe pcmf502rd.

After loading the driver, there's no indication of success - ifconfig
doesn't show a new interface (eth0 is a wire connection while I'm
building, so I would have expected eth1). lvnet simply returns silently when called.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

(wish I could type...)

The 2nd set of lines in the config file now begin with 'card' instead
of device. That doesn't change the problem, unfortunately.

Found the problem! Commenting out the 'version' line I'd added
to /etc/pcmcia/config (as shown above) allows the card to be
recognized!

thanks for the detailed info, it's much appreciated.
