The one thing I haven't been able to get working yet though is my Belkin USB WiFi stick. I have a Belkin WiFi /Cable router in the ´work room´. The WiFi worked ok when I had winxp on it, so I know it´s all ok.
A common way to get Belkin stuff to work is to use ndiswrapper (ggogle will find their home page and they may well be a linspire rpm for it). This allows you to put a wrapper round the windows drivers for the device and use them on your Linux box. It needs a far bit of command line stuff so if you decide to go this route let me know and I'll run through how I got my belkin card to work on my Zenwalk (Slackware derivative) box.
