Belkin F5D7010 Adaptor with SUSE 11.1

English Network/Internet
#1

I am having problems trying to get the Belkin F5D7010 adaptor and driver rt8180 running. According to SUSE the driver is installed and the lights on the card are on. I have put the password in but it just will not connect. On this site HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless - openSUSE, it suggestes below but I have no idea how to do what it suggestes. Could some guide me through this…in easy steps, if possible.

I am most grateful.
Steve

For 11.1 Use Ndiswrapper install from YaST. Blacklist the agnx driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local before you insert your card. Disable ipv6 in Yast. Do not configure in Yast. Let Gnome NetworkManager do its normal thing. Ndiswrapper will require driver from the Netgear equivalent card called the WPNT511

Have a peek at the stickies in the wireless section,especially these

Thanks Deltflyer. I tried your suggestion but despite trying some of their suggestions,I did not get anywhere. I am sure that there is not a major problem as the card seems to be recognised, the lights are on and the network shows up in the network manager.

It is frustating to say the least.

Thank you anyway.

Just to check,BTW the 7010 has 2 different chipsets, post the output of

lspci -v

&

lspci -nn

to make sure you are using the correct drivers

That is because /sbin, where lspci lives, is not in your path. Try ‘/sbin/lspci’.

OK is this of any help?

Not really, it gives you the possibility to guess what this might be (although I already have an idea, but guessing is no good way to help).

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Belkin Device 701f (rev 20)

Please post the output of


/sbin/lspci **-nnk**|grep -A2 -i net

which will give us the PCI-ID (and perhaps a little more information).

With that identification will be much easier.

Thank you very much for trying to help me. Much appreciated.

OK, so it is the card with Realtek chipset (strange that this rather old thing is recognized as “unknown device”, but who cares) and the correct driver is getting loaded.

To make things easier for all, use the script mentioned here in posting #3, this will give more information about your whole network setup.

Getting Your Wireless to Work - openSUSE Forums

Read the instructions and also the suggestions the script makes after running carefully for possible solutions.

If those solutions don’t help post the output file of the script using a “nopaste” sercive of your choice.

I don’t know what you are doing here.

This is certainly not the output of the script mentioned in Posting Nr.3 of
