I have followed a couple posts and tried manually making this card use the correct driver ( or so Im told correct driver ) to no avail.

Also if memory serves me correctly, There are 2 diff chipsets for the versions, ie.. below v3.000 one chipset above v3.001 ( those are not the correct version numbers just used to give an example) At least I remember the drivers were different for these on windows.

Any help would be apreciated. Thanks Guys.

THe driver being used is the NetMW14x.inf as shown on the compatability list:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelki n#PCI

I will send one slightly eaten, partially melted, non-existant Almond Joy to the guy/gal who gets it working..:lolflag:
