Hello, Actually I have F5D7010 Belkin RT2500 and installed the ndiswrapper, the Win2k ini and sys files of the device. I managed to install eveything and what I type : iwconfig I see the card with its details and I can scan using "iwlist wlan0 scan" and I can see AP/ When I activate the interface with "ifconfig wlan0 up" I will never obtain an IP (Knowing that on windows I can have the DHCP configurations) What is the proiblem?

This sounds a lot like what I (and apparently several others) experience with my Cardbus F5D7010. Basically all the new drivers I've been able to locate will seemingly negotiate fine with the AP, but no IP traffic comes through (which obviously includes the DHCP communication). According to the Wiki list of supported card, the "files/Drivers/WinMe98/bcmwl5a.inf" driver should work whereas "WinXP2K/bcmwl5.inf" shouldn't, but on my driver CD the layout is different and none of the .inf files work - nor do any other that I've downloaded from various sources. I've so far failed to contact "Beland" who wrote that entry. If anyone else has this working, please point me to the working driver.
