Hi I want to be able to get my Belkin Wireless G adapter to work, it is USB. I have tried to get this to work with ndiswrapper and linuxaunt, but no look.

Please Help!

What kind of chipset does your model have? I have a similar card, but not all use the same chipset. Plug it in and run lspci and see what it says.

doesn't say anything

lspci returns nothing? It should return a whole slew of stuff. If you have a line that looks like this:

Quote:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

Then you can use the madwifi drivers provided through portage.

it is

0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30)

Nope you don't have an Atheros based card. Sorry.

Have you tried this:

BTW the USB adapter will not be displayed with the lspci command. The 3COM 3c905B 100BaseTX is either an integrated or PCI ethernet adapter.

Well duh! I should of known that. It never occured to me that his lspci outputed a 3com card instead of a belkin one!

but it is on the box and in kinfocentre - BELKIN F5D7050.

anyway can you get a driver (look at my new distro)

Penguin of Wonder · 11-07-2006, 05:03 PM

Try the madwifi drivers from apt. See if they work, at worst they won't and you can just unintsall them. The howto posted by michaelk also looks nice.

I need to get the madwifi drivers not through apt. This machine I have access to is on (evil) Microsoft Windows, please help (I will look as well).

Thanks, you are great!

The latest drivers can be downloaded here:

I have tried to with the madwifi debian package - it wants python uninstalling, but doing so will uninstall kde and everything eles, and nothing will compile, i have not go stuff like libc...

Please help!

Penguin of Wonder · 11-22-2006, 02:57 PM

Madwifi shouldn't want pyhon to be uninstalled, are you sure about that? Uninstalling python won't touch KDE or most packages for that matter. Most programs compile using GCC not python.

If you can't compile the madwifi source then you do need to install the gcc package, if you don't already have it.

joejoeiscool · 11-24-2006, 09:51 AM

MadWifi drivers don't work! Built from source
