Belkin confusion

[twodayslate]

Above is my card information. What do I have to do to get it to show up for Ubuntu? On XP I installed a driver but I do not think that will work for Linux.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, if you need more info on the card feel free to ask for it. Total newb here, thanks.

You can use ndiswrapper to get your card working, using windowz drivers. You can find instructions at the link. Also this is a good howto.

OK, I am quite confused. Thanks for the help so far.
I am pretty sure I am at the part where you have to install it.
Do I type something in the terminal? When I type in something like /home/root/username/ndis.../makeinstall it just opens the file.
I extracted the ndis file by using this: tar xvf ndiswrapper-1.3rc1.tar.gz and the extracted files is in the directory above now.

I am at the part where it says
make
make install

You should download the latest stable version and not the testing.

extract it with
tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz

This will create the ndiswrapper-version directory. Change to that directory with
cd ndiswrapper-version

go to the source-directory and run make distclean and make. As root, run make install. This should compile and install both the kernel module and the userspace utilities

This is pretty simple. Just follow the instructions

[twodayslate]

How do you run? Do you just click on it or do you type it in.

Sorry for asking simple questions.

[valemon]

applications->accessories->terminal. When the terminal is up you are by default in your home directory. Change to the directory you have downloaded the latest stable version of ndiswrapper. (I usually create a folder "downloads" in my home folder). Then just type the commands.

[twodayslate]

What do you type into the terminal to change directories? Sorry for being so noobish.

Then what do you type in to run?

[valemon]

cd "directory"

in the directory of ndiswrapper run

make distclean

make.

then

sudo make install

The last will ask you for your root password.

Thank you so much for your help. I recently moved my computer to my basement so I am directly connected via wire. Thanks again!

NOOOOOO!

If you're on Ubuntu you're better off getting the package from the Ubuntu repository, just download the .deb files and move them to your Linux partition. I'm assuming you're using Feisty:

http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...buntu1_all.deb

Install that (You'll be able to install it in Nautilus I think) then download this, though you need to select 32 or 64 bit to download then pick a mirror.

Ubuntu -- ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
