[SOLVED] Installing Belkin F6D4050ea

**newwireless** · 10-19-2010

Hello

My computer is an AMD 64 athlon, 1GB RAM & using Ubuntu 9.04.

I am currently using an ethernet card and have just bought a Belkin F6D4050ea wireless card and don't know how to properly install it on Ubuntu.
I have already installed the ndiswrapper and installed the windows drivers that came on the CD.

When I go into Wireless network drivers it lists the rt2870 and says Hardware present: Yes, but when I click Configure network it says could not find a network configuration tool.

The forum guide told me to do some terminal checks and here are the outputs to them. Hope someone can help a novice with this.

When I type dmesg I find 'couldn't prepare and couldn't load driver'. I have copied part of the output and pasted it below at 3.

Hello and Welcome. Is this a USB device or PCI? I don't see it listed in your post above. I think you should remove ndiswrapper and only use that as a last resort....that is what it's intended for.
Post the output of these commands please.

Code:

lspci |grep -i net

Code:

ifconfig

**newwireless** · 10-20-2010

The belkin wireless card is USB. Currently I have the cable connection in use.
I will uninstall the ndiswrapper and drivers after I send this email.
Here is the output to your commands.

Should be
lspci |grep -i net
not a 1, it's a lowercase I.

You said it's a USB device right? Did you plug it in, when you issued the lsusb command?
Make sure it's plugged in and try the lsusb command again..I don't see anything resembling a Wireless card.

**newwireless** · 10-22-2010

It was plugged in. Here is the output with and without the wireless USB card connected. The first one has the card connected shown as item 04

Hey

I followed the instructions and have got the wireless usb card to work. I am now on wireless!

As I am a novice do you recommend any guides to the basic use of linux/ubuntu, for example what to type in and how to use the terminal?

Cheers
