I have a Belkin F5D6020 v2 pcmcia card which also uses the Atmel
chipset. Here are my notes (collected mostly from linuxquestions.org if
I remember correctly) about how I got it to work on Fedora Core 1. Maybe
this will work for your card as well:
- download driver release atmelwlandriver.2.1.1.tar.bz2 from
http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net -- do not use a later version,
can't get those to work at all.
- untar driver: tar xvjf atmelwlandriver.2.1.1.tar.bz2
- cd atmelwlandriver
- Edit file scripts/setup.sh to change the line:
PCMCIADES="/lib/modules/$LV/pcmcia"
so it instead reads:
PCMCIADES="/lib/modules/$LV/kernel/drivers/pcmcia"
- Configure the driver build process: make config
- Answer N to every question except:
Build PCMCIA driver Y
Build blah Rev D driver Y (some people suggest E instead but D works)
- Build the driver:
make clean
make all
as root, using su -
make install
- Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/atmel.conf as per article on
linux-wlan.com (you may be able to use "/sbin/cardctl ident" to
get this information for your card)
card "Belkin F5D6020u (aka. F5D6020 ver.2) WLAN PC Card"
manfid 0x01bf, 0x3302
bind "pcmf502rd"
- restart pcmcia ( /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart )
- Start redhat-config-network and should be ready to go.
Sometimes my laptop seems to hang at startup. If I eject the wireless
card and re-insert it the boot process continues and the card works
normally.
HTH,
Omer
