I spent the better part of two days in these forums looking at and trying info provided in my search for "Belkin" in these forums. Really some good post's, some I tried that did not work, one I tried and appeared like it did work. But I never got connected with it, so here I am.

I am running ubuntu Breeze. I installed ndiswrapper, then:

root@ubuntu:~/driver# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
Installing bcmwl5
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2

root@ubuntu:~/driver# cd
root@ubuntu:~# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present

That was the only good news, it looked perfect, rebooted and nothing was detected at all. Below I am posting some commands I used. My questions is, why can I not get a connection ? I really lack experience with wireless and am not real knowledgeable about it. If someone needs more info, please let me know.

THIS POST is a super good post and is the one I have gave my attention to the most. There are some people that used this methed and had sucess. I found that I made a few mistakes the first time I tried it.

So I uninstalled the driver and tried it again from scratch, I updated my driver to bcmw15a and also did the hot-plug command which I forgot to do the first time. But it was not sucessful again. I followed every thing perfect in that post, hmmmmmm ?

The one thing I am not sure of in that post is this:

"you will need to go to that window to tell Linux how you connect to your router, as well as "Ativate" the connection by clicking Activate after choosing "wlan0"

I can not find his referance to choosing "wlan0"
Where is the "wlan0" option ? I have not gave up on getting my Belkin wireless working yet. Help anyone ?

Anyone ? HELP !

try this, it worked for me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990
I'd recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10 shut down all progs and run it a few times if it doesn't work,
good luck

Try iwconfig and see what it tells you.

If the wireless router you are trying to connect to has security turned on (WEP or WPA) you will have to learn the WEP or WPA key and enter it using iwconfig. You may also need the essid of the router.

If possible, turn off security on the router and see if you can connect.

Try man iwconfig or man wireless-tools for more info.

Did you guys look at the date on the original post before replying to it?

Yeah, I know it's quite old but i have been cruising the forums for help with this card for the last few weeks, I haven't really used message boards much in the past so I didn't realise it would be much of a problem, I just thought It might help anyone who had the same problem and needed a resolution.
I'm sorry if this is bad practice (I'm sure it's very difficult to keep these things in order).

I'm sure someone with the same device will happen along and appreciate your post, but I wouldn't expect the OP to still be looking for the answer.
