Dear All, This is my very first thread to be created by me, I shifted to linux now from more than 6 months, and everyday I am learning more from its amazing community. recently I have shifted to Slackware distribution, and I have this little problem... I am trying to connect to my home network using my Belkin F5D7050 USB wireless adapter, but there is a little problem I am facing, ummmm its not working! these are the details:

Slackware 10.1
Acer Travelmate 630 laptop

some output of some commands might be of help:

# ndiswrapper -l
