I have a Belkin Wireless N F5D8073 Express Card for my laptop. I found this tutorial in the forums:
THIS CARD WORKS!!!!! YAY! Right out of the box on Gutsy. I popped it in, put the CD in, copied the XP driver folder to my hard drive, then used the GUI NDISWRAPPER to load the driver. It could not have been easier! (well, I guess plug-n-play would have been easier)
Exact steps.
1) Put Card in computer.
2) Put CD in drive
3) Browse to XP Driver, and copy driver folder with all contents to your hard drive.
4) Go to ADD/Remove Programs and search for NDISWRAPPER
5) Load the WINDOWS WIRELESS DRIVERS Tool.
6) Go To SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATION, WINDOWS WIRELESS DRIVERS
7)Click on Install New Driver
Browse to XP folder and load *.INF file
9) You should then see the driver loaded and hardware present in the window.
10) Click Configure Network
11) Setup your wireless network info.
12) After all of that, you need to make sure you hit the checkbox that enables the wireless network.
However, when I get to step number nine the ndiswrapper states that the hardware is not present and when I click on "Configure Network" an option for a wireless network is not even present. I have scoured the forums and ndswrappers site to find out any info on what I can do but I have not had any luck. Any ideas?
