New to Linux, installed latest fedora having issues with Belkin wireless nic.
Okay hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here. I have a very limited linux skill set so the more detail the better!!!
I have a homebuilt machine that I have just installed the latest fedora core onto. I downloaded the DVD iso and installed it on a dedicated 250GB SATA drive. I went along with the default options during the install and with the exception of the wireless card everything seems to be working ok.
The issue I am having is getting my Belkin wireless card to work. I have a Belkin F5D7000 installed on the system. I have read through numerous posts using ndiswrapper but I have yet to find any post detailed enough to explain to me what I need to do step by step or if I even need to use ndiswrapper.
Can anyone help me out, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks

Is that what is needed?
I can understand the output of the 1st command, but what is the output of lspci -n showing?
Thanks

lscpi -n shows the numeric PCI ID. it's a number used to keep track of vendors who supply chipsets.
in your case, you appear to have a MADWifi chipset.
Give MADWifi a test and see if you can get it working.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

got madwifi installed but still not working
so I was able to install a network card used a cross over cable to my laptop running windows to get a live internet connection and downloaded madwifi with the following command.
yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6
that went through downloaded evertything and installed it I am assuming. I did not receive any errors in this process. I still do not see a wireless card in the network hardware or devices. According to the madwifi help what I did should not have required anymore work on my part.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks

make sure the ath_pci module is loaded
Should look similar to thisCode:lsmod | grep ath
if thats good then have a look atath_pci 69148 0
ath_rate_sample 17544 1 ath_pci
wlan 124700 4 wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 150480 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
look for anything ath related.Code:dmesg
try this also
And post the output ofCode:service network restart
Code:ifconfig

Let's just make it simple. Open up a terminal and type as root
then post the output of typingCode:modprobe ath_pci
Code:ifconfig
