Belkin Wireless-G USB adapter in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy

I’ve got a Belkin F5D7050 wireless USB adapter. It didn’t work under Ubuntu. This is because Edgy ships an old fucked version of the driver. If Ubuntu is loading the “rt73usb” driver, and it’s not working for you, that’s why. Download and install the CVS version as per the Ubuntu wiki instructions and it works perfectly. Superb.

  1. I have been trying to get my F5D7050 to work on Edgy for ages, but no cigar. I’ve tried the instructions on the wiki - and this newbie can’t get it to work.

    It seems really simple from the wiki but I’d really appreciate a little howto to find out where I’m going wrong. Would you be kind enough to put this together for me? Thanks (in advance)
