I am VERY new to linux(total exposure is installing Knoppix and playing with it a few hours) , I used to work at MS and would really like to be linux proficient. I have this same Belkin F5D7050 and need to get it working but I'm not sure how to perform the instructions given.

I'm on a windows box now and downloaded the driver from Ralink's web site. I have some more quesitons

1. You will have to edit rtmp_def.h and add the F5D7050 device to the #define RT73_USB_DEVICES section:

{USB_DEVICE(0x050d,0x705a)}, /* Ralink */ \
Where do I find this file? I did a quick search and didn't see it. Is there a special editor and or command to edit it?

2. Then compile and install the driver which will be called rausb0.

I have no clue how to compile a driver and install it where it needs to go.

I would really like to do this and would appreciate and added details or link to a doc. I'm also be searching the web to find the answer myself

I have knoppix 5.0.1 installed to the HD. I'm willing to install an earlier version if it would help
