'Sup. This is Thunda, the only guy that uses Ubuntu until I met this forum. :P

Hmm, I think one of my "newbie" questions (XD) is this: How do I configure Wine? I want to use it so I can use the wireless belkin G usb network adapter. And I thought people could help me with this.

You cant install Windows drives on wine to make a device work..
because Wine can only access devies that Linux can access in simple terms.

While you can setup Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter/Stick under linux which is the more pure way.

You can simply start searching google with "Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter/Stick on Linux" and you get loads of topics and guides

as your a Ubuntu user, heres your answer on Ubuntu forums topic

thanks, I'll go and see it. Does it matter if I use 10.8?

[b2bwild]

You mean 8.10?
Well yes..
You can also use

# gksu ndisgtk

which comes with Ubuntu, its used to setup Wireless drivers using Windows .inf driver files.

I wouldn't recommend ndis, I used it before Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10 came out) but since then, native drivers have made huge leaps and for the most part, work a lot better than windows drivers in Linux

i've used ndiswrapper once, but I didn't really like it. The funny thing is: my wireless card doesn't work under Windows, but it does under GNU/Linux XD. I'd say use ndiswrapper only as a last resort, if you can't find native support for it.
