Belkin WiFi PC Card

I picked up a cheap Belkin F5D7010 (revision 8000) wireless-G PC slot card to use with my PowerBook but it's not working. The PB detects it as evidenced by the icon on the menubar, sees it as an Atheros chipset, but there are no lights active on the card itself even though I have the option to power it off in the menu. I've tried a few different drivers and utilites but can't get it to be recognized as an Airport device.
I read that these cards had a few different chipsets installed over the years and some won't connect without some work. I would like to get this computer online and connected to the home network wirelessly. Any suggestions?

Well my search for drivers has been fruitless. In fact, when I tried a particular solution it caused a kernel panic that I couldn't recover from unless I updated to Leopard (unsupported but it works fine). So I may end up going with the OWC card when I pick up some memory for my two older Macs.
I think this particular Atheros chipset just isn't supported, which is odd because the later one in my MB works great.

  • Powerbook G3 (WallStreet) OSX compatible with  PCMCIA Belkin WiFi 802.11G ?

    Hello
    Do you know it the PCMCIA card Belkin WiFi 802.11G sold on the Apple Store is compatible with an old Powerbook G3 WallStreet (without USB and Firewire)?
    I will install the macOsX 10.3 system on it.
    Thanks for your help

    Michel,
    Belkin has had a variety of wifi PC cards with confusing model numbers and version numbers.
    The Belkin F5D7010: Supposedly there are three versions(!); v1 and v2 supported Apple's AirPort software (Mac OS X 10.2.8 or newer and AirPort 3.1.1 or newer) since it used the Broadcom chipset. Then v3 was released and it was no longer supported by AirPort. BelKin then released drivers for v3 which apparently solved the problem.
    The Belkin F5D7011: This card supposedly uses the Broadcom chipset and is fully supported by AirPort.

    Or you could buy one of these cards where there is no question about support:

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • How do I connect my new Iphone 5 to my Belkin wifi range extender?

    I have upgraded to the Iphone 5 and now can not connect to my Belkin wifi range extender. When I go into wifi in the settings it is bringing it up, but when you click on it it does not give you the option to just put in the password. When you go into the details there is no IP address in there! It is connecting to the router downstairs, but this extender was to give me coverage in upstairs. What to do?!

    You need OS X 10.6. Make sure your computer meets the requirements and get it here fir $19.99

  • Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

    Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
    <Edited by Host>

    Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install.  If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

  • Intermittent issue with Wifi network card.

    Nothing can be more annoying than an intermittent issue. Unfortunately it does happen to my MBP. This is the new MBP purchase Jan. of this year. About 2 months ago, the MBP developes a problem. The sympotom is, after powering it on, the Wifi network card sometimes suddently stop working, even cannot be recognized by the system accidently. After the problem arise, I cannot turn on wifi again. The only way to get it back is to restart it. It used to work well with my home network and company network.
    I have tried every possible mean to figure out what's wrong with it. Tried SMC reset, PRAM rest. Reinstall a new OS on a new partition (per instruction from Apple support). I hate to say this is a HW issue but support people from Apple did suggest sending it to a service center for a check up.
    Before I actually dropping it at service center, I wanna know if someone has experienced that before?
    Repeat, it used work well with my router.

    senthil,
    It helps to describe your setup parameters.
    Which antenna(s) do you have?  Either 2 internal antennas or 1 external antenna.
    How far away and what obstructions (walls - wood/concrete) is the wi-fi router?

  • Which desktop WiFi PCI Card will be able work with personal hotspot signal of iphone 4

    which desktop WiFi PCI Card will be able work with personal hotspot signal of iphone 4. I need my desktop to work on WiFi signal emanating from personal Hotspot of iPhone 4.

    I think you are running into the following issue.
    From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    Note: If you leave the Personal Hotspot screen or put iPhone to sleep, iPhone only broadcasts the Wi-Fi network for an additional 90 seconds. If no devices join the Wi-Fi network during that time, iPhone 4 stops broadcasting your Wi-Fi network. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
    So, if I understand correctly, if you you leave your iphone on the the Settings --> Personal Hotspot screen, than it shouldn't disconnect.

  • Can i buy developer id using my wife credit card with her permission

    can i buy developer id using my wife credit card with her permission?

    When you enter the Developer program, you have to leave the internet in a sense. You are entering a business relationship with Apple. That is why developers have to submit personal information and cannot act anonymously unless they have a legal right to do so (via a corporation). You wouldn't want to put a successful app at risk by violating the Apple Developer terms of use which clearly state, "The Apple ID and password you use to login as a Registered Apple Developer cannot be shared in any way or with any one."
    Furthermore, choosing to develops apps under a female name is, unfortunately, going to attract attention to begin with. It shouldn't matter, but it does.

  • S300 supported Wifi/Bluetooth Cards ???

    Hi guys,
    i already bought an Lenovo Ideapad S300.
    I tried to replace the existing WiFI/Bluetooth Card with an Atheros AR5B195 Card but I realized that Lenovo has an BIOS blockage for those cards.
    I got two Questions now :
    1. Is there a White List for the S300 Model? And if so, please tell me the Cards on.
    2. In Bios Update Notifications for v8.07 is a hint "Add support 4 new WLAN cards".
    Which are these cards? And should I update to v8.09 than for better card support?
    Thank you for your help.
    My actual Bios Version is 6DCN88WW(v8.02).

    I don't know about the WiFi card, but do you have a link to the Bios files you mention?

  • Palm Centro WiFi SIM card

    I've read about WiFi SIM cards, but so far, all I've found are the kind used to make your phone a WiFi hot spot. I don't like cell phones, and I don't plan on using that feature of my Centro, but I do want to access the internet with it. Is there a SIM card replacement that would connect to a public WiFi network?
