Hi All, |

A friend gave me a Belkin F5D7050 USB wifi adaptor which I am struggling to |
| 4 |
get going. I checked the Wiki which describes how to use ndiswrapper but it |
| 5 |
also mentions that there are drivers in portage for this purpose. |

I opted for the latter, set the rt73usb USE flag and emerged the rt2x00 |
| 10 |
drivers. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However I still cannot see my new device as a network interface. Can you |
| 13 |
help? |
