Yesterday I decided to install linux on my PC. I live in an apartment, my PC is in the bedroom, and my internet is only connectable via a wireless router to the cable modem in the living room. My PC has Win XP Pro, and Ubuntu 10.04 on it now. The router works with windows, but I have tried for hours yesterday and today to get it to work with Ubuntu 10.04... I hate windows and would prefer to use Linux, but to be honest I am sick of digging for answers to this problem. Can anyone help me get the Belkin F6D4050v2 USB adapter to work? I realize that on some of the sites its in the grey area. It's driver code is rt2870.inf. Also, I am having an issue with the preloaded softwares wanting to work, for instance ndiswrapper, and 1.9 took forever just to get working, and I am showing errors for others, even with the disk in, and running synaptic. I have tried a zillion things from a zillion different sources. If you can help I WOULD GREATLY appreciate it. Also, I am not a tech genius so jargon, and shit won't help. Note I cannot connect wired, unless I drag my PC into the living room. I can muti-task with my Macbook, and the PC, so I can work in realtime.

Other info
its in bus 001 Device 005
050d:935b

Please help?

step1. figure out the chipset that uses that.
step2. assure that the appropriate driver is being used
step3. if its not working at this point, look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg to see if theres interesting log messages.


Do step 1 and then we can move forward...

@hewson I have no Idea how to find the chipset...
