Hi all,
I am trying to install a Belkin F5d7010 pcmcia card into an HP laptop. I
have installed ndiswrapper but the card is not recognized and does not
seem to be powered up. Is there a separate service that needs to be
installed to recognize a pcmcia card and if so where is it located.

I would really appreciate some help on this issue.

Which version of Red Hat are you running??
How did you install ndiswrapper?? What steps did you take???

Details please.


I am running Fedora Core 6. The ndiswrapper (ver 1.34) was downloaded from
sourceforge and compiled per the included instructions. When I enter
"ndiswrapper" at a command line I get the usage screen, so I assume it is
correctly installed. The pcmcia card is a Belkin, which uses a Ralink
chipset. I have tried both the blkwgn.inf driver and the Windows Rt2500.inf
(from the supplied cd) and neither work.
I am not sure if I have pcmcia driver(s) installed. I get no response when
inserting the card, but do get an entry in the log file when the card is
inserted or removed. By the way, I am running 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 kernel.
