Wireless chip is displayed as "Ath0" instead of "wlan0" with Belkin F5D7000

I'm a Linux newbie and I am having problems. I am using a Belkin Wireless I am doing everything https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Dev...8F5D7000%29%29 tells me to do, but it give me a message saying "ndis drivers: bcmwl5a driver present", but it does not say that the hardware is present. It recognizes the receiver as ath0 instead of wlan0.

Could anybody tell me what it is that I am doing wrong?

I'm not sure what the problem is. When do you get that message? Can you connect to your wifi network with ath0?

Need more info please.

Show me "iwconfig ath0" and "lspci" ?
