Eric, thanks for the reply, but I don't have a windows_driver.inf file to install. I extracted the *.exe driver, so I have several files, but no *.inf file. I have Install.ini, Setup.ini, a couple of *.CABs, a few other *.exes. Could one of these be the one I should install?

Which one of these am I supposed to install, and how (what commands, arguments) do I use to install it? Thanks

OK... here goes (my patience runs out, can't you read back on all the threads that you've opened and extract the information that's in there? Or use Google?):
From the ndiswrapper card list I took this snippet:
Quote:
Card: Belkin F5D6050
* Chipset: Atmel at76c503-rfmd
* pciid: 050d:0050
* Driver: Belkin [29]
* Other: Download the driver. Extract to a new directory using unzip. Extract the CAB files (DATA1.CAB, DATA1.HDR, DATA2.CAB) using "unshield x" . cd Drivers/WINXP . edit bkusb.in_ and uncomment the CopyFile.XP.Sys section. Run ndiswrapper -i bkusb.in_ as root followed by ndiswrapper -m . modprobe ndiswrapper. ifdown wlan0. ifup wlan0 and you are there.

The driver link is here.
Should not be too hard, should it? But I will not download and extract this driver for you to verify the truth of the above. Please try to solve the rest of the puzzle yourself.
Eric

That driver you gave me a link to does not have the *.inf file, as is obvious from the directory contents I listed above.

You ignorant little git. You have not even read the text I quoted? I followed those instructions to the letter (the only thing you don't have to do anymore is ndiswrapper -m), and now I even post the five lines you will have to uncomment:
Uncomment the following three instances of
Code:
;CopyFiles = CopyFile.XP.Sys
And this bit:
Code:
;[CopyFile.XP.Sys]
;bkusbxp.sys,,,2
And now hide in a hole and shame on you.
Eric

Thanks for the note, and I apologize for my pushiness, but I am on a time crunch for a school project.
And I still don't have an *.inf file to install.

Does anyone know where, besides the ndiswrapper wiki, I can get the correct windows driver for my wireless adapter make/model Belkin F5D6050?

If you won't read, understand and carry out the actions quoted here, you won't get any help at all.
