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.
Any ideas as to how to get it working would help please.
Heya,
What's the model number of the USB wifi stick? A quick bit of searching makes me think that it might be an RA2500 chipset (see here:) http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
A bit more searching reveals that the RT2500 isn't supported by Linspire but I'm sure that there will be guides on how to get it working if it is that chipset. If you can't find any obvious model numbers on the stick then you might want to try typing the command "lsusb" into a terminal and noting the Device ID numbers as these will help us work out what chipset it is.
Thanks Adam
