HOWTO: Belkin wireless USB F6D4050 in Ubuntu 10.10

This applies to the N150 band, model F6D4050

I know a lot of people are having trouble with getting this working, and its actually quite simple. This works from 9.04 onwards too.

Copying the codes is advisable. However, typing will help you LEARN!

1. Open Applications/Accessories/Terminal.

2. Type in the code lsusb.


3. Your code will be 050d:935a

4. Enter this: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/network_drivers.rules


5. When the file opens, add this then save it: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="050d", ATTR{idProduct}=="935a", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba rt2870sta"


6. Now enter this in the terminal: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/network_drivers.conf


7. When the file opens, put this in and save: install rt2870sta /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta $CMDLINE_OPTS; /bin/echo "050d 935a" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id


8. That should be it, i'm 100% certain this will work.
