How to get belkin usb wirless adapter working?

First consult this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

If nothing seem to work, you can try Ndiswrapper around the native Windows driver. Search for "ndiswrapper" in System->Administration->Synaptic package Manager.

Here's more information about Ndiswrapper: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/

Hope this helps!

well no it diddnt help ive been using the wifidoc for my litttlenetwork adapter and i got to a point where im stuck and i dont think i have ndiswrapper(searched for it last night)

here is where i got to...

Step 5 - Create and install the driver using make

Make the driver with the make command:

user@ubuntu:~/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module$ make clean
user@ubuntu:~/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module$ make

This will take several minutes. There will be warnings, but there can be no errors or the build will not complete.

o and this is the link im using
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29

also thx for your post

also when ever i use one of those commands(user@ubuntu:~/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module$ make clean
user@ubuntu:~/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module$ make) i get a message saying that that is not a directory.

Well, I don't know what happened there. Did you perform all the previous steps - including the change of permissions?

If you can't get the driver compiled and set up, try Ndiswrapper instead.
