Hey,
I just installed my Belkin Wireless G desktop card (F5D7001) bu tI can't get it to work.
lspci gives this for the card:

Code:

0000:00:0a.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

I've been doing some searches on google and there I found to use ndiswrapper so thats what I did:

Code:

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present

But when I run iwconfig to get the device name, it doesnt seem to detect my card:

Code:

Chaos spukkz # iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

If anyone could tell my what I did wrong or what I forgot to do, I would be very thankful

Greets,
SpukkZ

What does your /etc/conf.d/net look like? Are you using WPA/WEP? http://gentoo-wiki.com/Special:Search?search=wireless&go=Go
