Getting Belkin Fd7051 wireless USB stick to work
Sorry I am not understanding.
I click the console button. Then I typed in the unzip unzip f5d7051v3.exe
it comes up
unzip: can not find or open f5d7051v3.exe, f5d7051v3.exe.zip or f5d7051v3.exe.ZIP.
I know in windows an exe is different then a zip file, I did try to unzip it to see and it is not a zip file.
Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.

Can you follow this? You rt-clk an empty space inside the directory where the exe is..

Fine. If you can't grasp it, click the terminal on your desktop and enter these one @ a time:
You'll know you did it right when you see this:
Code: Select all
cd /root/my-documents
unzip f5d7051v3.exe
Code: Select all

Thanks for all the help.
Still not working. Get the .inf file but does not work.
I did a video to show you, hopefully this helps.

There are some problems with ndiswrapper in Tahrpup. Assuming that you have the PAE version, open a terminal and run the command
Then try your Belkin setup again.
If you have the no-PAE version, read here.
Code: Select all
depmod -a
If you have the no-PAE version, read here.

As I've said many times in the past; ndiswrapper's success rate is low. And generally, any driver solution which relies on "re-purposing" a driver from a different operating system is technically ugly, anyway.
The ideal solution is to use a Linux-friendly wifi dongle.
In the past I would have recommended Ralink-based devices, but for the last year or two the in-kernel Ralink wifi driver is less than stable.
So these days I recommend Realtek-based wifi devices.

This adapter has worked fine for me (out of the box) using Precise 5.6.1. I think pretty much everything (but not all) from Atheros is Linux friendly as well.
@Cliff: Thanks for the video, not too many folks choose to describe their issues using that method.

Thanks for all the help. I figured the video method would let you see what I am doing and maybe where I am messing up.
I typed in the depmod -a and used ndiswrapper and got nothing, and I do mean nothing. No warning box or anything at all. Here is a video to show you. I noticed after I posted it that I should have held the camera higher but at the end I do. I think you can still tel what I am doing.
I may buy a Linux friendly stick but I sure would like to try it before spending any money as if it does not work well or I do not like it why waste the money!

Also how do I tell if I have the pae or non-pae version? will it hurt if I try the method for non-pae?

This cmd >> cat /etc/DISTRO_SPECS or this one >> grep flags /proc/cpuinfo may tell us.
Then again, maybe the kernel tells us:
Available kernels >> Meaning another *might* work.
Then again, maybe the kernel tells us:
Code: Select all
uname -r
>>> Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities. It helps you live a life less trivial <<<
I typed in what you wrote. 1st one gave me nothing, the 2nd one gave me a bunch. It doe shave the letters pae in there.
The uname -r says it is 3.14.20
I think I have a way to borrow a long ethernet cable and try it wired temporarily and see if I like it. Then I would buy an USB stick that just works! If I have to. Still interested in getting this to work if I can.

1. Check the name of the original ISO file from which you installed Tahr. It will identify PAE/non-PAE.
2. From the command line, run
Do you get any error messages?
2. From the command line, run
Code: Select all
modprobe ndiswrapper
Because pups in general are all bastards, there's not much coherency between'm.
If DISTRO_SPECS is onboard, *system* search it with Pfind, or pups search utility.
As for a compatible stick, don't be stubborn. Sometimes you need the right tool for the job.

Semme - not stubborn just cheap! LOL I really do not want to spend any money until I see if I will continue to use it. I realize I have spent a fortune on computer stuff that really did not do what I wanted/needed it to and am trying not to continue in that.
ex. I got a mhl adaptor for my phone. only trouble with mhl is even plugged in your phone dies while you use it so after a couple of hours of watching tv from my phone it is dead. Also got a keyboard I never use for it and now will not use the mouse either as I won't be using the phone for watching internet tv.
Just don't want to waste the money on this either.
