ndiswrapper
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005Yesterday I got a Belkin notebook wireless card [Belkin F5D6020 (Version 3.0) 802.11b wireless PCMCIA] for my laptop that runs Debian. I spent the entire evening, but I eventually got it to work using a wonderful tool called ndiswrapper which allows you to use Windows network drivers in Linux. The version numbers are important because they correspond to different chipsets that are on the card. I started by doing an apt-get install ndiswrapper\* but you should see below that the current version for Debian doesn’t work.
