Belkin F5D6050 on Fedora, not being recogonized


I hooked up my USB wireless adapter, and Fedora Recognizes it, and apparently has a driver for it (at76c50-rfmd,) although it classifies it as a system devices, i don't really know what this means. When i go to configure my Internet connection through it, it doesn't seem to see it as a wireless connection, it says "other wireless card" or something along those line, then it gives me a long list of Ethernet adapters to chose from, none of which have worked thus far. when i go into hardware browser it sees it, but it gives it no device name (/dev/[whatever]) i haven't found a similar report of a problem anywhere, so i assume it's me. if someone could just point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

jman, I'm using the exact same setup as you, except that I'm loading the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. It seems to work, except in order to get the device to communicate, I have to for some reason first login to Windows, initialize the device, reboot and then load Linux. I'm working right now to try to figure out the why of it. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate.

I will note that to get ndiswrapper to work with the bkusb.in_ I had to edit wherever it said:
;[CopyFile.XP.Sys]
;bkusbxp.sys,,,2

and make it to
[CopyFile.XP.Sys]
bkusbxp.sys,,,2


however, I cant think that is what is causing my problem.
