belking usb wireless card


hi,
i was hoping if someone could help me. im a complete newbie to linux.
i have installed a copy of Red hat 9 on a p3 800, 384 mb ram, 10 gb hdd.
i have 2 usb network cards
a belkin (product code F5D7050 ) and a linksys WUSB54GP.

i have had a look on the web for instructions on how to get one of these working.
seems i will have to download something called ndiswrapper and install it.

i had a look at my kernal ver. and it is 2.4.20-8, where ndiswraper seems to work for 2.6.6 or 2.4.26 according to the info on the site.

i tried the last 3 versions of ndiswrapper (11,12,13) and the info for all of these states you need 2.6.6 or 2.4.26.


i was wondering if anyone had a step by step set of instructions on how to do this? or perhaps a website with same?
a couple of boards that came up in my search seemed promising until i got to the post where the people involved gave up

the setting up of the network side of things looks straight forward enuf, its the installing the driver for one of these cards is stumping me (like i say ..complete newbie).

thanks for your help.

Sorry not to have any good news, but this may be added to your inquiry:
I have the same problem with a Prism 2.5 WL-380F USB WLAN adapter that I failed to find a functioning driver for about half a year ago. My last web-track by that time was that somebody had carried out some preliminary work on Ndiswrapper for (such) USB cards but wasn't yet ready. Thus we all appreciate any fresh information on USB WLAN-card drivers. By the way, those kernel versions mentioned may be less significant: If I remember right, maybe your source table just mentioned examples of verified installations, or similar?
