Thread: Belkin F7D2101 USB Adapter

i'm extremely new linux , built machine sole use , decided go usb adapter internet. bought belkin f7d2101 , not install.

i've looked around, seen kind of application let run windows drives on linux have no idea how install anything. nothing seems work , if double click .exe files fails. have no idea i'm doing , feel overly-ambitious.

possible use adapter ubunutu? if so, how thing working? i've stared , tinkered 2 hours :s

i managed adapter working under ubuntu (lucid 64). pretty straightforward actually... got of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 , although required slight changes. work you:

run command:

code:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/network_drivers.rules

and add line file (which may empty) , save:

code:

action=="add", subsystem=="usb", attr{idvendor}=="050d", attr{idproduct}=="845a", run+="/sbin/modprobe -qba r8192s_usb"

then run command:

code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/network_drivers.conf

and add file (and save)

code:

install r8192s_usb /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install r8192s_usb $cmdline_opts; /bin/echo "050d 845a" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl819xu/new_id

finally, download file:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/di...rtl8192sfw.bin

, copy directory

code:

/lib/firmware/rtl8192su/

to summarize, first 2 commands tell linux load correct driver when particular usb device plugged in (which figured out lsusb command), , firmware used load information wireless chip needs run.
