Wlan on netbook nordic

[Bengt]

Hello,

I am a netbook nordic user and is trying to get my netbook upp and running with wlan. I have a Belkin F5D6020 ver 2 and a D-link Air DWL-650 both are PCMCIA cards. My netbook only have one driver installde for a CISCO AIRONET 3500/4800/340 rLAN how do i get more drivers? I have the ver. 1.05(254) of the operating system.

As the thread just below this one ("Useful WiFi Cards for netbook") states, see Diem's web-site for a list of compatible cards.

The netbook only supports cards with either the lucent or cisco chipsets, so there are two options. These are listed in (control panel, ethernet, device) as either "Cisco Aironet 3500/4800/340" or "Lucent WaveLAN / Orinoco Card". If your cards use neither of these you are most likely out of luck.

The Belkin card uses the Intersil Prism II chipset, which is a Lucent clone.

In order to get the Lucent chipset driver, you will need to upgrade to the latest OS revision, which is available from Teklogix' support site. See my site for links (URL below).

According to Mr Diem's excellent web site, the Belkin ver. 2 card uses the Amtel chipset. Therefore the Belkin ver. 2 will NOT work with the Netbook, even when you upgrade the operating system to version 450.

Strongly recommend that you get an Orinoco card or similar. Best bet is the slimline Buffalo card which can be purchased new in the UK for about GBP 32.00
