<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m trying to get the Belkin F5D7000 card to work with
Linux Red hat 9 (v2.4.20-8) using the driverloader. Driverloader installed
fine, I think. But in the configuration screen (at localhost:18020) the pci
card is not recognized. I notice that the card is not powered up (no LED) under
Linux as it is automatically under Windows XP. I assume this is the problem?
How do I tell Linux to power up the card? Seems like a chicken-and-egg scenario…
I haven’t done any recompilation of the kernel as I’ve seen
suggested on various newsgroups, but this wasn’t specified at all on the linuxant
install documentation page. Also, it could be that wireless tools isn’t
installed. (Why is there no mention of how to do this on the driverloader
install doc page??) For example, iwconfig isn’t recognized. But when I
try to install the wireless-tools rpm from my linux cd I get the message that
wireless-tools is already installed.</span></font></p>
