Belkin F5d7050 Linux Driver For Mac

Crash,See to determine which chipset Belkin is using in your FD7050. Oddly enough belkin used 3-4 different chipsets depending on the revision. Happily, most of them are supported on a Mac. Below is the info from that page in case it disappears. After that I'll pass on some links where you can get drivers. I bought one of these at BB over the weekend ($29.95), and downloaded the appropriate driver, but still don't have it working. But I'm sure I'll get it going.F5D7050 v.1xxxx Prism GT Prism54F5D7050 v.2xxxx Ralink rt2x00F5D7050 v.3xxxx man: 050d dev: 705a Ralink rt2x00F5D7050 v.4001 man: 050d dev: 705c Zydas ZD1211F5D7050 v.4xxxx man: 050d dev: 705c Zydas ZD1211.

So, a few years ago, I bought some Belkin wireless USB dongles (F5D7050 is the chipset, I believe). I've gotten these working with a few.

Can anyone help me?I have a Belkin Wireless G PCI card. I have installed the relevant drivers and I can scan and connect to wireless networks. The problem is that it disconnects and reconnects to my network approx every 20seconds.

I am running Leopard 10.5.1 on my AMD machine (it works very nicely) and need this wireless card to work to connect to the net. Has anyone had and resolved this problem?

If not, does someone have a nicely wokring PCI wireless card they can recommend getting?Many thanks in advance. Alright peeps, back on track: the Belkin USB F5D7050. I went out to Fry's and bought one of these beauties for $29.95. First of all there is a notice inside that says the device is not Vista compatible.

Although, as we all know, things can be hacked.I have included a few box scans so everyone knows what the package looks like, as well as the bottom flap where the version number is so you know Where to look. I went to the website listed above for my chipset.

I installed the driver, restarted the computer, inserted the device into my USB port. Instant wireless connectivity (after configuring my security settings).This fantastic chip supports WEP as well the network types where you have to enter the network name too. Everyone go out and buy one of these! Great antenna, better connection that my onboard.EDIT:It is intresting to note that this piece of hardware evidently does not work universally across all versions and distros of of HacOSx86.

I have had a problem or two getting the connection to register in my system. This only happened once, but otherwise this hardware works just fine.It DOES suffer from the replug glitch.

You have to unplug/replug the device after the os has loaded for it to register as a device. Once I left it unplugged, and only plugged it in after the system loaded, and had problems. I suspect that it needs to be plugged in BEFORE you turn the system on and boot MacOS. Then you will need to unplug/replug to get it to work. Minor problem. Maybe there will oneday be a workaround.My system:Fujitsu Lifebook A6020Core2DuoLeo4all v2 10.5.2.

So for the hackintosh newbies let me see if I can summarize and get concurrence from someone more in the know. This is what I think I learned before I head to my local BB tonight:If you can find an F5D7050 Version 2xxx.get it as a first choice because you can just download the dirver from or and use these drivers with NO mods. READ THAT NO mucking around with a text editor required! Correct?Just a question.since I don't know MAC (as opposed to Jack how does one load a driver on a MAC?Use version 3xxx or 4xxx as second to last choice.

(both apparently require mucking with the driver/editing 'your must add the Belin USB ID data to rtmpdef.h to the #define RT73USBDeivces section'.does one do that in a text editor? And then what??? Does it need to be compiled or is this merely a config file?Don't go with version 1xxx or because it is status GREY and requires mucking with the driver.and may not work. Bought the F5D7050 Belkin USB Adapter and installed the driver from the RA link site above.

I used the driver labeled: RTUSB D2870-1.0.1.0bD71w-1.1.7.0cD2500-1.1.3.0 UI-1.4.8.020071126.dmgFrom all I have read, since my 7050 is a version 3002 it should require the 2501 driver which is covered in the above driver package.correct? So I installed the driver, plugged in the apapter and then restarted the hack box. It found my network and asked for encryption type and key(s). I entered the key, the lower left box on the Belkin Utility said 'connected -' but when I opened Safari it told me I had no internet connection.as did the MAC network utility that pops up in from the System Preferences folder.The USB adapter did not show up in the list of network adapters on the left navigator panel of the Mac Network Utility. Was it supposed to? Is this why you have to 'add the Belkin USB ID data to rtmpdef.h to the #define RT73USBDEVICES section' I can see that file in a Linux driver package but not in the OSX package. How does one do that?

Should I be using the Linux driver package in lieu of Mac OS X?If so, how? Help would me most appreciated. Begining to wonder if this is all worth it.

I also have the 7050 version 3002. I downloaded the file labeled ' from the ralink driver site linked to above.

I installed it and restarted my computer. After restart I discovered a new config utility which helped me connect to my network. NOTE: I use a hidden SSID and WEP encryption.

Compatibility may differ depending on if you use more or less security, but I had no problem and did not have to do anything extra.It is intresting to note that this piece of hardware evidently does not work universally across all versions and distros of of HacOSx86. What distro/version do you have? Thanks Lenzius,I am using 10.5.1. I suspected that most people with success in this area are now on 10.5.2. I built my hack several months ago and then went overseas on business so I am just returning to it. In that time, the next distro appeared. Since I have little invested in this distro I think I will find Leo4All and download and then reinstall.So far I like what I see.

I could easily become a Mac fanatic. I love the way you hit the power button and you are on your Mac desktop in thirty seconds from a cold start. Try doing that in Windows;( I could easily take a shower, dress and drive to work (over an hour commute) before my Windows machine is ready for me to do anything productive.Thanks again for your help. Will get 10.5.2 and post again with results. If lucky.maybe even tonightIf you have any favored install instruction links.feel free to share them with me. I am a bit rusty on how I installed in the first place.

Also, what options to pick. The only downside to this hardware is that it DOES suffer from the replug glitch. You have to unplug/replug the device after the OS has loaded for it to register as a device. I also suspect that it needs to be plugged in BEFORE you turn the system on and boot MacOS. It is a minor problem. Maybe there will one day be a workaround.As far as installation goes, it is fairly strait forward. If you need an install guide search here on the forums or check out.basically:1.

Download the package. I have leo4all version 2 but they recently released version 3.2.

Burn it to a dvd3. Make sure your computer is set to boot from the dvd drive4. Pop in the disk and boot5. Follow the directions to install a stand alone copy of OSX OR find an install guide to dual bootdual booting is kinda tricky, but my version of hacOS came with a bootloader.

I am not sure if it was leo4all or the OS itself, but it was real nice not to have to mess with a bootloader. Working flawlessly with non security network, but i can't connect to my corporate network that use WPA with EAP/PEAP. Anybody, have the solution?? ThanksI was able to connect my in the office and we use WPA-2. It didn't seem to want to work at first but I kept trying and eventually it connected. Once it did that, like in all other cases, it automatically connects anytime it senses the signal either at the office or home.

Renpy save file editor. And they are on two different security protocols and proifles. My advice is to just keep trying.

Interestingly.I just left my running (after I entered the parameters) with it seemingly not connected. Then I went to lunch and when I came back the wireless was showing connected and operational.

It just seems to take a while to synch. The same phenomena occured at home.I just left it run overnight and in the morning it was connected. Give it a try is all I can advise. It will eventually connect if you have the correct keys and are applying them in the correct entry points. After you install the driver software, you will see some connection software. Simply find your network in the list and doubleclick on it (i think).

Sorry I only did this once and it was a while back. I do remember that the password box was set to Hex to begin with and I had to change it to ASCII to be a ble to enter my password.

If this does not work, and you get an IP but are still unable to pull up websites, try unplugging your device, then restart the computer. AFTER the computer is rebooted to the desktop, plug the device back in and try again. This device DOES suffer from a re-plug glitch.

It cannot be plugged in when the computer boots. This confuses it.
