Ok so i've just switched from XP to ubuntu it is now my os on my pc must say im liking it so far, I need help with setting up a wireless network connection to my router the card i am using is a Belkin F5D7000UK i believe or it could be the F5D70001UK pretty sure it's the second one it's detecting the card and and in the ubuntu wiki it does say it is supported but yeah i am a n00b so i need a shove in the right direction.

thanks for the links kreuger but i have'nt been able to get anywhere with them, should i just go for the "ndiswrapper" way of getting it to work or by tring to get the driver for the card from a windows cd or from the disc that i got with the card?

now im having trouble getting ndiswrapper to install i dont have a clue what to do, i think that to install it you have to do it via commands in the terminal but im not getting no where,

i've read all over the web about how to get ndiswrapper working but all the guide's are just not very well written if someone could show me how to do it i would appreciate it, i've been at this all day

i have the .sys and .inf file's that i need

    • It was easy enough in Task Manager Performance tab already.
    • GeForce NOW adds support for 25 games in June, including Rematch and Dune: Awakening by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new month is here, and Nvidia is starting it off with a big GeForce NOW announcement as usual. The latest reveal has support for 25 games that are incoming in June alone, with some highlights including Rematch, The Alters, FBC: Firebreak, Dune: Awakening, and even the Borderlands trilogy from Gearbox and 2K. Just this week alone, Nvidia is adding support for the following ten games for GeForce NOW subscribers: Symphonia (New release on Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 3) Pro Cycling Manager 25 (New release on Steam, June 5) Tour de France 2025 (New release on Steam, June 5) Dune: Awakening – Advanced Access (New release on Steam, June 5) 7 Days to Die (Xbox) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Epic Games Store) Cubic Odyssey (Steam) Drive Beyond Horizons (Steam) Police Simulator: Patrol Officers (Xbox, available on PC Game Pass) Sea of Thieves (Battle.net) Nvidia also has plans to add a bunch more games in the rest of June, which is when most of the biggest new releases are coming: Dune: Awakening (New release on Steam, June 10) MindsEye (New release on Steam, June 10) The Alters (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 13) Architect Life: A House Design Simulator (New release on Steam, June 19) Crime Simulator (New release on Steam, June 17) FBC: Firebreak (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 17) Lost in Random: The Eternal Die (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 17) Broken Arrow (New release on Steam, June 19) REMATCH (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, June 19) DREADZONE (New release on Steam, June 26) System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster (New release on Steam, June 26) Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced (Steam) Borderlands 2 (Steam and Epic Games Store) Borderlands 3 (Steam and Epic Games Store) Easy Red 2 (Steam) The company has a tendency to add many more games to its cloud gaming service outside of these early announcements, so check back as weeks go by to see what's new. Steam Deck owners recently received a better way of using GeForce NOW too, all thanks to a dedicated app. As summer continues, don't forget that the GeForce NOW 40% off sale is still active too, with Nvidia cutting the price of the Performance membership plan until July. As always, keep in mind that unlike subscription services like Game Pass, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers.
    • Thought I'd quote myself as reference to what was happening yesterday. I wasn't getting the pop up then in Firefox, but I did just now using it.
    • With DARPA the military can do their own research and then the tech can enter the public domain and benefit the people. If we use public money to buy privatized tech then we don't get that benefit and even worse we will probably pay higher prices in the end. Unfortunately we are ditching NASA for private tech. If you look at all of the technologies developed by NASA that benefit us, you can see why going private can be a huge loss and jack up prices for consumers when private patents are involved. This could have a detrimental effect on innovation by monopolizing certain advancements and reduce access to advancements for the average person, even though our tax dollars would be funding these advancements.
