Belkin N 150 usb Adapter

**matteedee** · 11-03-2010

Hi all,

I have just purchased a wireless usb adapter (belkin N150).

As with all usb adapters it is Windows compatible, and comes with windows installation CD.

Im pretty new to linux, (using Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5) .... I have no idea how to get this device recognised and installed.... please can someone help me.

Any help would be much appriciated

Cheers
Matt

**matteedee** · 11-04-2010

Some additional information, I have just realised that the model number for the adaptor is F6D4050ea..

I saw this tutorial for the same device

[SOLVED] Belkin F6D4050 v1 - Ubuntu Forums

However the above tutorial is for ubuntu and didnt work for me, im using Oracle Enterprise Linux which i think is based on Red Hat / Fedora...

Can anyone help?

**matteedee** · 11-04-2010

I havent installed the drivers that came on the supplied CD, not sure how I can??.... does this make any difference???

**matteedee** · 11-04-2010

do i need to run 'iwconfig'? whatever that does?.....

someone throw me a bone here plzzzzz!!

**matteedee** · 11-04-2010

i have used the following command

ifconfig wlan0 up

and then tried to scan for wireless networks using the following command:

iwlist wlan0 scan

..but no networks found..

I have tried to load all the drivers found in the lib/modules/kernel/net/wireless folder... but still cant scan for networks!!!

Someone must have wireless on there computer....???

**MikeTbob** · 11-05-2010

Come on now, calm down a little bit. We realize that you really want to get your Wireless working but we are all volunteers here. We know what you are going through but when you come off like this, people don't want to help you.
I can tell you that you have 2 drivers loading, rtl8180 and forcedeth. 8180 is for Wireless, did you load that or not? Leave the device plugged in and reboot the machine, then post the code again.....if you loaded a bunch of drivers willy nilly, you could be having conflicts. A reboot will clear just about everything that shouldn't be there.
Please repost the output of these commands after rebooting and Also be advised that most "Enterprise" OS's just don't work well with Wireless without a bit of work. Even the kernel is outdated 2.6.18-194.el5, The current kernel is somewhere around 2-6-36 now.

Code:

ifconfig

Code:

lsmod

It's ok, we all get a little bent out of shape now and then.
It looks to me that everything is ok. If that is the correct module, I am not too sure yet. What do you get with these commands, please post any output.

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scan

Are you still using the Wired (eth0) while trying the wireless? That might cause troubles.
Turn it off with

Code:

ifconfig eth0 down

EDIT: When you followed that link, what part did not work? What failed?
