Re: ubuntu and belkin f5D6020v3 card Yes, amen to the CVS checkout... Their snapshots are fairly old...
They're also in a transition state to a new set of drivers based on the kernel's recently added 802.11 stack, so it may seem like no progress is being done, but rest assured they're working hard in the background.

| Ok, back again with new ieee**** and rtl8081**** untarred and installed. The latest rtl8081-1 untarred to rtl8081-0 just like the previous one and I had to delete the lines referring to slot_scan again, so I'm wondering if there's anything new about these. Anyway, still no joy so here's the info you asked for the other day:
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid easynote
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"easynote"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s

And 30 seconds later:
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"easynote"

So here I am asking for more help, please. Thanks again for all the time/effort given, really appreciate it.
