Card: Belkin 802.11b Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D6001) (PCI)
Chipset: RTL8180 Board: V1799 F5D6001 Rev 2.0
pciid: 1799:6001 (rev 20)
-
Other: This PCI card works with ndiswrapper v0.10 when you use RTL8080 driver, not Belkin driver. The
PCIID of this card is different from Realtek driver’s supported PCIID, so you need to tell ndiswrapper to use realtek driver for
1799:6001. So execute “ndiswrapper -d 1799:6001 net8180”. Now make sure ndiswrapper got it right by checking the output
“ndiswrapper -l”. It should print “net8180 driver present, hardware present”.
Other: Card also works using (173).zip driver, with Ndiswrapper 1.7 on 2.6.15-rc7 and 1.8 on 2.6.15
(with 4K stacks!) on a debian box.

*Toshiba Satellite 4015CDT, Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.8 / ndiswrapper 0.10. The Belkin driver did not
work for me, it loaded but failed to do anything useful whatsoever. An ndiswrapper -l using the realtek driver reported the hardware not
present. By copying the Bel6020.inf file from the Belkin driver and the rtl8180.sys file from the realtek driver into the same directory,
and replacing every instance of the string “Bel6020.sys” with “rtl8180.sys” I was able to get the card work
satisfactorily. ‘(Best Solution)
’
* Acer TravelMate 240 series. Follow the same procedure as in Toshiba Satellite above. Tested on
debian unstable, 2.6.16-2-686 kernel with headers. I have compiled the ndiswrapper(1.6) module for the kernel from source, since apt-get
did/does not install it.
*Dell Latitude CPi, Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.7 / Ndiswrapper 0.10-1. After first trying with the
Belkin driver, fiddeling the mode back and forward between Ad-Hoc and Managed mode without much success I switched driver to the one from
RealTek?. Which works without any trouble what so ever.
*Other: Dell Latitude C840, Mandrake 10, kernel 2.6.3-15mdk / Ndiswrapper 0.9. WEP works with
non-broadcasting essid. Managed mode requires several attempts to get activated. I have to toggle between the 2 modes (Ad-Hoc and
Managed) to get the link LED on the PCMCIA card to lit up.
*IBM Thinkpad T23, Debian testing, kernel 2.6.10, ndiswrapper 1.1rc1@050217 (nightly). Using the
Debian packages did not work, so first get rid of packages ndiswrapper-source/utils/modules, then install the nightly build (both utils
and driver of course). Then download the ndis-driver from realtek, and install with ndiswrapper -i. By some reason, the .conf-files in
/etc/ndiswrapper/net8180/ will be called 10EC:8180.5.conf. Until I changed that into 1799:6020.5.conf (the PCIID you get from lspci -n),
the hardware was not detected with ndiswrapper -l. As I don’t have an AP, I cannot really verify that it works from here, but it
looks promising.
*IBM ThinkPad A22P. Tested on RHEL AS4 update 4 with ndiswrapper v. 1.9. Download the driver
ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/wlan/ndis5x-8180(173).zip and install according to the basic ndiswrapper instructions. After
installing, rename the files in /etc/ndiswrapper/net8180, substituting `10EC’ with `1799’ and `8180’ with `6020’,
respectively, to match the PCIID you get from `lspci -n’.

usbid: 050d:705c
Driver: On the CD at /files/Driver/blkwgu.inf
Other: run ndiswrapper -i blkwgu.inf on CD, copy blkwgu.sys to same directory as ndiswrapper puts the
inf file. bring up device. Had problem not being able to use restricted mode and had to switch to open WEP. Works once i made the
switch, pretty straightforward.

Other: Download the driver. Extract to a new directory using unzip. Extract the CAB files (DATA1.CAB,
DATA1.HDR, DATA2.CAB) using “unshield x” . cd Drivers/WINXP . edit bkusb.in_ and uncomment the CopyFile.XP.Sys section. Run
ndiswrapper -i bkusb.in_ as root followed by ndiswrapper -m . modprobe ndiswrapper. ifdown wlan0. ifup wlan0 and you are there.
Card: Belkin 54g Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D7000)
Chipset: BCM4306 Board: V1799 D-7000 Rev 4.5
pciid: 14e4:4320
-
Other: This is PCI, not cardbus. The chipset is marked BCM4306, however the supplied utility in win98
detects “BCM4306/BCM2050”, and Linux utilities have variously reported; BCM4306, BCM4320, BCM94306. This card has been stable
on a Slackware SMP system with ndiswrapper-0.8 since released, versions 0.7 and 0.9 do not work with the SMP kernel.
Card: Belkin 54g Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D7000) Rev 02
Chipset: BCM94306
Driver: From Installation CD
Other: It is working on Slackware 10 (kernel 2.4.25 and kernel 2.6.8.1) Also working on Gentoo (using
various 2.6.x kernels), however from ndiswrapper > 0.8 the Belkin drivers did not work at all (Oops at modprobe, system lockup); I
used the Dell drivers (see the rev 03 entry following this one) instead, and now I’m happily running 0.11.

Card: Belkin 54g Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D7000) Rev 03
Chipset: BCM4306
pciid: 14e4:4320
-
Other: I tried to use the belkin driver (bcmwl5.inf) but the whole system just locked up as soon as I
modprobed ndiswrapper. Apparently the belkin driver works for the older rev 02 cards, but not rev 03. So I’m suggesting this for
folks with the Rev 03 card. You can check the revision by doing a “lspci” The Dell driver has been working great for me, for
about a day.
Other: The rev.03 problem is probably not all that sinister. It is caused by the presence of the
NetworkType|0 line which ends up in the*.conf files (from the *.inf driver file). Removing this allows the supplied Belkin driver to
work, although I’d probably recommend using the Dell R81433.exe driver anyway if only because it’s a later version. For
non-US users you may wish to edit the Channel parameter to be 13 (Europe) (or 14 in Japan?). Applies to both PCMCIA and PCI versions
(F5D7000 and F5D7010).

Chipset:
pciid:
Driver: Standard belkin driver
Other: Just added this so that people know that the UK variation can be used. I used the standard
belkin driver, but you need to install it to somewhere in windows to extract the relevant sys and inf files. Works like a charm with
fedora core 2 and fedora core 3 (though with fc3 you will need to download the kernel source rpm as it doesn’t come with the
standard package).
Other:Finally works on my system (the card says “version 1133uk”, Debian woody, kernel
2.4.28, ndiswrapper 0.11, Dell drivers, hand-compiled wirless-tools v27). Here are a few hints if you’re having trouble: (i) try
different combinations of ndiswrapper version and driver (Belkin, Dell). (ii) make sure wireless extension version of your wireless-tools
matches the one of ndiswrapper (Debian woody wireless-tools were too old, iwconfig wouldn’t work), see
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.htm for more information. (iii) wireless won’t work
if your machine also has another network card connected to the same network.

Other: Works like a charm on this Mandrake 10.1 system here, I was very pleasantly surprised. Just
followed the instructions in the docs and it worked! Used the Mandrake configuration tools for wireless network setup (Control Centre
→ Network & Internet → Manage Connections, select the wireless card).

Other: Debian stable Sarge (2.4.27-2-386) works a treat. I followed the
“InstallDebianSarge” instructions which were great. In the end however, I didn’t need the “Install latest

Used ndiswrapper on a Fedora Core 2 distro. Dell driver worked better than the Belkin CD. It works on Suse Linux 10.1 with the cd,
without problem and with advanced speed, however if you use dell driver it keeps disconnecting!

kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 and ndiswrapper-1.8-0.lvn.1.4 (you can install this using “yum” if you have the livna repository set
up) but gives warning “Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2”. Driver on installation CD segfaults on
“modprobe”, but Giri says this should be fixed in

In my particular scenario, using SUSE 10.2, the wireless device was already detected which really
threw me. To get ndiswrapper working, make sure GCC and the kernel source is installed. Do this by opening Yast, click on Software
Management and search for each, click the check box to install and accept. It will most likely require you to insert the disk to install
the libraries. Then open xTerminal and cd to the directory in which ndiswrapper is present. Follow the directions that came with
ndiswrapper. */ Important */ From here go into the network configuration, do these steps if the wireless card is already present. 1.
Click on the device and click Edit. 2. Click Advanced and hardware details. 3. Change module to: ndiswrapper. After fulfilling these
steps restart the computer and type noapic at boot options. If you need any help feel free to email me at compnet32@gmail.com Hope it all
works!

pciid: 0000:02:02.0 (rev 03)
Driver: Used wifi driver on Windows Drivers CD supplied with laptop
Other: Suse 9.1 32 bit, NdisWrapper 0.8 compiled/installed from source. Used bcmwl5.inf/bcmwl5.sys On
another Compaq Presario 3??? laptop with AthlonXP-M cpu, I had to use bcmwl5a.infAlso Suse 9.1 64 bit, NdisWrapper 1.0 compiled/installed
from modified source. Used 64 bit netbc564.inf/BCMWL564.SYS driver. On a Compaq Presario R3000Z, running in 64 bit mode, drivers
won’t always work if you have more than 1GB RAM. It seems to be a problem on the Broadcom driver or hardware. A*bad* workaround is
to boot adding mem=1024M as a boot parameter (being able to use only 1G)

Driver ndiswrapper-1.2-3mdk . Works with Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver Release Date: 2005-06-01,
Version: 4.00 C from hp website. WPA has not been tested. iwconfig should display a Signal Strength between -15 dB and -90 dB. Issue
found : nothing critical. Turning on or off the radio with the button has no effect on wlan (but has on bluetooth). You sometimes have to
wait up to 30s after receiving the signal to get a MAC and IP address with some wireless receivers. Playing too much and too fast with
rmmod and modprobe can hang the laptop. It looks like the integrated network card shouldn’t be in the same range than the wireless
device (strange), but would require more testing.

Other: Gentoo 2004.3, linux 2.6.10, ndiswrapper 1.0-rc3 has the needed changes to run on amd64 too,
the 4k-stacksize warning is useless since 64bit kernel has no option to change this but the windows-driver doesn’t need a
>4k-stack. WPA needs some patching since else it segfaults on startup, qualitiy and transferrates should get even better when the
windows-driver gets better. For some information on how to use WPA with this version look on the mailinglist, Karl Vogel has submitted a
patch, latest cvs of wpa-supplicant should contain this already. WEP etc. work without problems

Driver: Works with driver from ASUS website (see elsewhere on this page) with changes to ndiswrapper
conf file.
Other: Using kernel 2.6.10, ndiswrapper 0.12+1.0rc2-1 Debian package. ndiswrapper incorrectly sets
RadioState to 1, when 0 means “enable” and 1 means “disable”. The card did not use the default 14E4:4320.conf
file; I had to change the ones with longer names. I also set the country code, although this may not matter. For explanations, see the
Win98 .inf file, which is plain text and contains brief descriptions of the options. WEP etc. not yet tested.

Notes: Despite the driver coming from the acer website it appears this is a generic driver for this
chipset. The drivers from the CD that came with the card would not work, nor would those downloaded from the Buffalo website.
Notes: On Ubuntu Breezy Badger iwconfig doesn’t work some reason manage to get to set the key
for the access point. Due to that the connection won’t work, even though WPA isn’t used. More information in
http://www.wi-fitechnology.com/viewthread25.html a forum post (note that the file to edit is /etc/network/interfaces
on Ubuntu).
Notes: On Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) the above problem seems to have been resolved; however, for
some reason iwconfig releases the settings made to it (essid & key, or just essid or just key), perhaps if the wireless connection
goes down for extended periods of time.

Other: Use the .inf in the AR directory. Works with ndiswrappers 0.11 and RHEL 3.
Other: In order to install the drivers you need to first blacklist the bcm43xx driver with the
command: echo ‘blacklist bcm43xx’ | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist . Then install the bcmwl5.inf file. Check this
guide for more info:

Other: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary), ndiswrapper 1.0rc2, dell drivers from file R81433.EXE. I used the
bcmwl5, not bcmwl5a drivers in the AR directory, not sure of the difference. No luck until I editted *every* .conf file in
/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/, replacing RadioState|1 with RadioState|0. Now it appears to be working perfectly on an open network.
