According to this: Tech Goes Boom: Belkin F5D5005 on Ubuntu

Ubuntu has the drivers installed and you just need to load them:

sudo modrobe sk98lin

To have it load at boot, you need to add a line to /etc/modules (I believe that is correct for Ubuntu, don't use it myself.)

sudo gedit /etc/modules

And add sk98lin to it.

Umm... that's not a wireless card. It's a wired LAN card.

I don't actually see any wireless card. Maybe it is an internal USB card. Post the output of this command.

lsusb

It is difficult to help without the needed info. Read the post linked to below, and post the info that it tells how to find.

thanks

Tried sudo modrobe sk98lin and it asks for a password which I gave then it says:

sudo: modrobe: command not found.


I ran the lsusb command and got his!

Anyore steps to heaven?

Whoops, typo, my bad, it's modprobe

But as Waterhead mentioned, the Belkin you have is not a wireless card.

[titoolsen]

Umm same am afraid:

Typed in:

sdo modprobe sk981in (also tried sk98lin) and same response...

FATAL: module sk98lin not found

Did I get it right?

[titoolsen]

Sorry I did type sudo and not sdo!

[waterhead]

That isn't the right module! We made a mistake.

I don't see any device that even resembles a wireless. Is it possible that you are mistaken, and there is not a wireless in this computer?

Also, please post all of the info that I requested earlier. The info that this link talks about.

WOuld appreciate any further assistance anyone can give me in installing my belkin broadcom internal wireless card. I am using Ubuntu 8.10

[reed9]

The problem is that nothing in the output you've shown us indicated that you have a wireless card. The only belkin card showing is a wired card. Once again, are you positive you have a wireless card? Also, you need to post all the info that was requested, as Waterhead mentioned.
