Description:

Belkin networking presents its latest innovation, the 802.11g Wireless Notebook Network Card. The Card works as an ideal standalone to give you instant networking capabilities. It features breakthrough 802.11g technology that makes wireless file transfers and downloads faster than ever before. 802.11g technology provides you with networking speeds nearly five times faster than the current Wi-Fi (802.11b) standard. The Card sets up with the ease and the simplicity of Plug-and-Play technology on any laptop equipped with a 32-bit CardBus slot. It slides into the 32-bit CardBus slot to enable a wirelessconnection to your network. 802.11g technology is the easiest wireless network to implement. The Card uses the wireless 802.11g 2.4GHz standard to offer you the widest working range-up to 1800 feet-and greater interoperability in mixed networking environments. 802.11g technology is backward-compatible with the 802.11b Wi-Fi networking standard, so it allows you to implement faster wireless technologies in combination with existing 802.11b Wi-Fi networks.

1Linux Users BewareMar 08, 2007
By theblackgecko
I purchased this card after borrowing a card with an identical product number from a friend. My friend's card worked out of the box with my version of Ubuntu Linux.

When I received my card, it simply did not work. After doing some research, I found that I had a card with a different version number, and a different chipset. My friend's card had a chipset made by Atheros, which worked out of the box. The card that I purchased had a Broadcom chipset, which is notorious for being incompatible with Linux. Even after going to the forums, I was unable to make the card work.

Belkin is dishonest, in that it makes changes to the chipset without changing the product number, only the version number, which the consumer is not made aware of. Had I been aware that the card had a different chipset, I would not have ordered it.

1Belkin's downloadable drivers do not function!Nov 10, 2005
By J. P. Robinson
I am writing this here for anyone having trouble installing this card using Belkin's drivers from their support website.

Simply they are not the right drivers & will not work!

For a working driver for Win9x/2K/XP copy the following into the address bar: http://www.ralinktech.com/drivers/Windows/IS_STA_2500_D-3.0.3.0_U-2.3.6.0_042505_1.0.2.0.exe

This driver is from the actual chipmaker and works fine :-)

Ralink's name for the product is 11g-RT2500 and downloads for other OS's including Mac can be found here: http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm

I hope this helps to shortcut somebody's efforts to get this card working...

5Great for Xandros Desktop 3Dec 12, 2005
By Sam Hsu
I don't write drivers for Linux so I want something that Xandros Desktop will support. I decided to give Belkin a try since it's name brand and in case I have issues I can call the tech support. I loaded the bundled CD (which was designed for Windows) into the drive. Copied the "Driver" folder onto my HDD. I went to Control Center, the network section, and added the driver to the list. I put the PC card into the PCMCIA slot, and the device was instantaneously recognized by Xandros. No problem at all. Highly recommend.

5A great upgradeMay 12, 2004

I just replaced an older wireless card with this Belkin in my aged Pentium II laptop... wow! Who knew there were so many access points in my apartment building? And I'm getting an 80% signal from my own network, instead of a feeble and unreliable 20%. Way to go, Belkin!

2Incompatible with Mac OS X - Error on Belkin's WebsiteMay 01, 2006
By Spock
I bought Ver. 5000 of this card to use with my Pismo PowerBook running Mac OS X 10.3.9. Despite the claims on Belkin's website, this card is incompatible with Macs. Belkin does not even provide Mac drivers for this 'Mac-Compatible' card !!! A quick call to Tech Support confirmed this.

Older versions of this card (ver. 2000 and 3000) used the Broadcom chipset and are Mac compatible. Newer versions use the Atheros (?) chipset, which does not work in Macs.

I returned this card and bought the F5D7011 Ver. 1101, which runs natively in Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Mac OS X 10.4.
