ndiswrapper |
No |
Works in Feisty with ndiswapper-utils and the Realtek Windows driver (net8185.inf). Belkin's driver won't work well. After installing the driver, use the command "ndiswrapper -a" to link the driver to the card. My computer would intermittently freeze for 5 seconds, but this is rare after I stopped NetworkManager (sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher stop); got my network's SSID (iwlist wlan0 scan) and configured the interface (sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <ESSID>) |

See Belkin F5D7011ef. Must manually set frequency to that of your router using sudo iwconfig <wlan0> channel <channel>. To find your router's frequency use iwlist <wlan0> scan. bcmw15a.inf can be found as part of R74092us.exe. |
