Can't get my Belkin wireless adapter F9L1101v to work!

[theRandy]

Ok so ive gone through lots of tutorials on how to install the drivers using ndiswrapper with no luck. I have the installation disk and have access to the:

netrtwlanu.cat
netrtwlanu.inf
rtwlanu.inf

When i type the lsusb command it recognizes the device is there:

root@bt:~# lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:110a Belkin Components 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Im fairly sure i installed the driver correctly, WICD just shows "No wireless networks found"

Unfortunately after a long search this is what I have come up with:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127710 (more on ndiswrapper with same chipset)

I also found this and under "linux driver" it says unsupported...
http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Belkin_F9L1101v1

If all else fails, this wifi adapter should work after a little modification.

http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Belkin_F9L1103

Unfortunately that means purchasing a more expensive adapter, but this is the model I use and the driver build was successful.

Good luck and I hope you find a better answer than mine.

Ahh ok i was hoping that it would be supported, should have checked before i bought it haha. Thanks for your response

Your USB ID doesn't match up with the v1. You have a v2 F9L1101, right?

The v2 uses RTL8192DU - if you can't get it working with ndiswrapper, you may be able to get it to work with Realtek's vendor driver.. or maybe with the source tree here.

Your device works with the very new driver 8192du:

$ modinfo 8192du.ko | grep 110A
alias:          usb:v050Dp110Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*

Here is the procedure to download and install it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...6#post12688576

Please post back if you get stuck or need additional assistance.

Its the F9L1101v2, how can i delete the drivers i already installed to try do it from scratch?

Ok so i downloaded the file from the Realtek site and unzipped it. Then i tried to install it using the install.sh script but i got the following error:

That old antique isn't going to work. I suggest you remove ndiswrapper and use the procedure that is proven that I linked.
