Belkin F5D7011 802.11g PCMCIA detection Knoppix 5.0 !

[Mikejo]

I have the same card as the person in the previos post, and I posted a soluton to his delema, however I would like to get my belkin card working with ver 5.0

Essentially, the driver will install with ndiswrapper, but when finished, it tells me that although the driver is installed, the hardware is not present or something like that. I've already run both "Wavelan configuration" and "Network Card Configuration"

I've entered my essid and wep encryption key e.t.c. (yes I've made sure the key and essid are correct)

Here are the results of just a few of the many commandline entries I've made (with their results):

eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSIDff/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid Bit Rate=1 Mb/s
RTS thrff Fragment thrff

Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

sit0 no wireless extensions.

root@1[knoppix]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:

rt2500 driver present

root@1[knoppix]# ndiswrapper -m
modprobe config already contains alias directive

root@1[knoppix]# ndiswrapper -d PCIID:wlan0 bcmwl5a

Driver 'bcmwl5a' is used for 'PCIID:WLAN0'

I've tried removing the rt2500 driver as well, and alternated trying the bcmwl5a driver with no good results.

NOTE: This card will install under version 4.02 no problems (Both Live CD and Hard drive install)

I've tried to install the card on ver 5.0 live CD with the same results I'm getting on the hard drive install that I'm currently trying to get it working on.

I'm guessing it's just some simple script edit that needs to be done, but I really don't know what else to do.

I've scoured the forums for similar problems, and tried some suggested fixes for possibly similar problems with slightly different equipment with no luck.

Would appreciate any help at all.

P.S. Forgot to mention.

I've removed the rt2500 driver and only have the bcmwl5a driver installed.

when I "ndiswrapper -l" from the command line (as root)

I get:

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver pressent, hardware pressent


Forgot to mention that in the original post.

Dear Forum Freunden,

I have the same card and receiver. I have the same problem, and I tried using a script that I wrote and worked perfectly in PCLOS, which I got from the PCLOS wiki. ndiswrapper hangs in KDE and at the CLI in Konsole as root. It just quits, it's totally bogus . That means the script might work if I could get past ndiswrapper hanging up the Konsole at "ndiswrapper -l" -- then I'd have some helpful info for all of you.

my boot options are "boot: knoppix nohwsetup home=/dev/sdb1/knoppix"

I have to run "nohwsetup" or the auto configure hangs up.

Last night, also, I copied files into the home directory and they were gone when I rebooted, more on that in another thread.

Thanks for any info,
Joel
