Belkin wireless card (pcmcia) F5D7011


Hi, hello all....

I have a laptop computer with a Belkin wireless adapter card model F5D7011 ( PCMCIA ) and so far am unable to get it work.

Follows is the list of my computer settings.

Slackware 10.2.0 --current && Dropline

kernelversion 2.6.17-rc6-mm2

root@darkstar:~#lspci
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

root@darkstar:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth2 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSIDff/any Nickname:"darkstar"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
RTS thrff Fragment thrff
Encryption keyff
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

I sense the kernel module for the card has loaded (i.e bcm43xx), and that Slackware does indeed see the card,I therfore think this involves a configuration issue relating to rc. files.

rc.wireless.conf

## NOTE : Comment out the following five lines to activate the samples below ...
## --------- START SECTION TO REMOVE -----------
## Pick up any Access Point, should work on most 802.11 cards
#*)
# INFO="Any ESSID"
# ESSID="any"
# ;;
## ---------- END SECTION TO REMOVE ------------

;;


rc.inet1.conf

If you have the same card, please can you post the settings as baldness is becomming a reality with increasing alacrity.
All help is appreciated and thank-you in advannce for your time.

Having tried ndiwrapper,
