Getting belkin n wireless 8053 working

[Sp32i]

Hey as you probably guessed I suck at Linux (newbie area)

I have got backtrack 2 and 3 on seperate discs and both are working fine

but I have trouble with my wireless card, I will list everything I know about it here:

Belkin wireless n dongle
F5D8053
v3000uk
no current drivers for any operating system except windows
Ralink chipset


I opened it up and on the card it says

"RT2770F
GU2470D0
0732ST"

and near that it says "P/N: 14175120000J R01"

I have been searching for 3 hours on this, I found a few ways but they were either way too complicated or just didn't work (most of them were all on ubuntu forums)

I am happy to help in every single way possible I can (testing software etc etc) and would be glad to solve this problem, unless it has been solved?

I am not sure what else I need to tell you, I will try basically anything to get it to work as I have never had internet on linux and would be very happy for a solution!

i as well have this same card and was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for drivers in BT3. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start up bt3 with the dongle (and if possible nothing else usb) plugged in then open a shell (black thing,bottom left of screen) and type:

dmseg | grep usb

followed by:

lsusb

and post up what the outputs read.

Hey TT, Was wondering if this thread was rapped up else where or if it just died? I have the same USB NIC. Followed your post, here is what I got back:

bt ~ # dmseg | grep usb
-bash: dmseg: command not found

bt ~ # lsusb
