Unable to configure Belkin F5D8053 Wireless N USB

[glenmede]

after >>make try >>make install and then install with YaST from the NON-OSS-Repository the ralink-firmware (if you have a LAN connection). Then connect then wlan-stick and you'll see it in the NetworkManager as ra0 interface.

It is important to note, that the newest version of rt2870 is needed, versions < 2.1 do not support the USB ID of this device.

modinfo rt2870sta |grep -E 'version|name|815'

Where did you get that driver? :-?

If it comes from the standard /oss repository, just open a bugzilla.

If it comes from anywhere at OBS, just contact the repo owner.
