Belkin F5D7010 and Knoppix 3.6

[killem]

Hi

I am new to linux.
Am having the same problem of the PC freezing on trying to install the belkin drivers in Ndiswrapper.

Please could you direct me to where the broad com drivers are?
Broadcom website does not have drivers for the Fd5 7000 chipset

Thanks V much for that link,killem.
I manged to find another link to these drivers on the NDSIWRAPPER site.They have links to Dell drivers and broadcom(from HP site) drivers for this card.PLUS a lot of helpful info on the 7000 cards.
I managed to load the DELL drivers sucessfully .
I have not got any further yet--need to find a way to get WAP encryption.

Hi

I have sucessfully got my broadband connection running
Many thanks to Grant for your remarkable posts which helped a lot.
My main difficulty was in getting the right drivers as the ones on the CD were not suitable(?too old?).
After that the procedure in Grants's post worked as he has outlined.

Anyone with any more advice?

People such as yourself saying, "thank-you," motivates me to help and keep helping.
