on Firefox, copy, paste on the address bar, and press ENTER:

apt:/ndisgtk

use this program to configure your card, you can find it on menu:
System--->Administration--->Windows Wireless Drivers.

You need the Windows XP drivers.

Guys,

This device is not wireless!! You are pointing me to a device driver for a wireless device - why?

See the third post for more information.
This is the make and model - but it is not wireless.

Moderators / forum readers: are you able to quote previous messages on this forum?

Hi again,
Sorry, I don't see the link before.
You can go to:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=791
and see that there is support for your wired router using the pegasus II driver.
If you need further help, just ask here.
Hope this helps, let me know.

File is "pegasus.h".

Next question: how do i install this?

Hi,
Go to System->Administration->Network, is your Belkin modem in the list?
How do you connect to Internet? Using a username and a password?

Went to System ->Administration -> Network and didn't find any sign of belkin or pegasus!!
On one of the wired connections - it had manaul IP. changed that to DHCP and dittoe the second and hey presto I have connection now with other networked computers.

Thanks for your help.

Will close the call now.

To summarise (I think): device is installed automatically with ubuntu 8.04 (verified with lsusb command) and you need to ensure the wired connection is set to DHCP - Automatic configuration.
I guess this setting is default. I play with these settings with XP and obviously changed on ubuntu and forgot . . .oops.
