I have spent the last two weeks building a new computer. It took this long because the original hard drive that I bought was DOA and I had to send it back to Newegg. This took a week. I now have a computer with an operating system and no software. I also do not have functioning internet as the wireless network card that I had with my old computer is not compatible with Windows 7. My installation disk is for Windows XP. I can only have internet if I steal the PowerLine adaptor from my kid's Xbox360.
I am going to try the Atheros driver that appears to show up on Google for the Belkin F5D8001 wireless card. Here are some notes for myself:
1. Go to
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/atheros.htm and download the
Windows Seven 32/64bits driver for the AR5008X.
2. Unzip the file into a folder.
3. Run the setup and install drivers.
4. Open the device
manager and select non-functioning ethernet control device (Belkin).
5. Select Update Driver
6. Choose “let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
7. Choose Qualcomm .
8. Then, select the “Atheros AR5008X Wireless Network
Adapter” from list.
9. Get a warning message stating that the driver has a problem
because it is not signed.
10. Install it anyways.
11. Reboot.
