Belkin USB Wireless Adapter install help
 
Hello,
I have a belkin usb wireless adapter (F5D7050 ver4000) and am in need of help to install it. I am using debian etch and I think I need the zd1211b driver from googling. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks! :)

Have look here: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/user...1211rw/devices

Looks like you have the Zydas chipset.

You can try this Debian package: zd1211-source (apt-get install zd1211-source)

You'll have to also install module-assistant if you don't have it already. As root, try running m-a from a command line. If it's there, it'll bring up a semi-graphical interface to walk you through the process.

First time is the hardest.

Thanks, I was able to get the driver for zd1211b installed successfully and it is now recognized as a Belkin Component.
I'll try module-assistant but for some reason commands like iwconfig aren't recognized even after I installed wireless-tools. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot. :)
