 |
|
Hello,
I have spent most of the last week trying to get a belkin usb wireless interface running with no luck. And I thought configuring my video card was difficult! 
Anyway, I wondered if anyone else has had any luck with this particular device? I haven't tried going the ndis_wrapper route, which is my next idea.
At first, everything seemed to be going great. The device seemed to show up fine:
| Code: |
perceptor nate # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 050d:7050 Belkin Components
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
|
In /proc/dev/usb/devices, I found:
| Code: |
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh=0
D: Ver=2.00 Cls=00(>ifc) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=050d ProdID=7050 Rev=0.01
S: Manufacturer=Belkin
S: Product=Belkin 54g USB Network Adapter
C:* #lfs=1 Cfg#=1 Atr=80 MxPwr=300mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs=2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(0) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
|
Numerous posts here and on serial monkey led me to the rt2570 driver (I tried the rt2500usb driver later in desperation, but modprobe failed), which I was able to compile and install no problem. modprobe worked, and lsmod showed:
| Code: |
Module Size Used by
rt2570 194176 0
|
But checking dmesg | grep usb showed:
| Code: |
perceptor Module # dmesg | grep usb
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usbmon: debugfs is not available
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 2
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device
Class driver
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver
usbcore: registered new driver rtusb
usbcore: deregistering driver rtusb
<===usb_rtusb_exit
usbcore: registered new driver rtusb
usbcore: deregistering driver rtusb
<===usb_rtusb_exit
usbcore: registered new driver rtusb
|
and iwconfig gave me:
| Code: |
perceptor nate # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
rausb0 no wireless extensions.
|
So... saying I'm at a loss would be putting it mildly.
If anyone has any advice, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

bad ash,
I've been caught out by this one too. I've had two of these devices with the same Vendor and ProductID but with different chip sets. Thats a bit naughty of Belkin. One worked with the serialmonkey rt2570 driver, the other has a rt73 chipset, which is not supported by the serialmonkey driver.
ralink do some almost useless precomppiled binary drivers for linux.
There are three versions of this device that I know of, the third one uses the prism chip set.
Its fairly simple to make work with ndiswrapper. read get the Windows XP drivers (you may need to try all three) from the Belkin website and it will work.
My rt73 device appears to go into a low power mode and loose iits settings, however that may be because I run a 4KSTACKS kernel and some XP drivers are known to not work properly with that option.
