ok did make install got errors and lots of em

What are you talking about, you do not need to make anything you have the drivers, you should hopefully have the firmware. All you should need to do is follow the instructions about using modprobe to install and use the drivers and firmware;

http://at76c503a.berlios.de/support.html#start

The drivers should be in your /lib/firmware location;

$ ls -l /lib/firmware

ok printed out the belios stuff followed to install
typed in :
Make install
Got error of at76c503.o and ectra file none esistant/directory not present?

checking out firmware stuff

got firmware stuff, but berlios drivers still not installing. nor is the belkin being recognized......"argh...getting balder bye the minute..."

Un-plug the USB device then plug it back in, then have a look at the end of /var/log/messages, what does it say???

/var/log/mesages.. I cannot find the file in there to get message from it ,, maybe I should reinstall?

go the mak install command work .. had to edit make file

OK, lets start again fresh......

Make sure you have the firmware installed to /lib/firmware
location by entering;

ls /lib/firmware

Sample expected results;
$ ls /lib/firmware

If not then install the atmel-firmware-1.3-1fc3.noarch.rpm from;

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/

Insure the amtel drivers are available and installed in
/lib/modules/<kernel-version-number>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
by entering;

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*

note: that is the ` key [by the number 1 and 'Esc' keys]
not the ' key [by the 'Enter' key] in the command above

Sample expected results;
$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_cs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_pci.ko


Since you state that you have no /var/log/messages file it would
be a good idea to re-boot your system at this point. You should have
the /var/log/messages file after rebooting, please check by entering;

ls -l /var/log/messages

Sample example results;
$ ls -l /var/log/messages
-rw------- 1 root root 27208 Dec 15 09:01 /var/log/messages


If you have the /var/log/messages file the next step is to insert
the belkin f5d6050 into a usb port then 'test load' the amtel driver
by entering;

/sbin/modprobe -v -n atmel

You should (hopefully) get back something like;

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/amtel.ko

If not then review your /var/log/messages file to make sure your
usb drivers and usb device(s) are being loaded and reconized.

If you get back good results then really load the driver by entering;

/sbin/modprobe -v amtel

If this works without an error then see if the interface is available
by entering;

/sbin/iwconfig

If this tool is not available then most likely the wireless-tools package
is not installed. If it is installed then lets try and find an access point
(AP) by entering;

/sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan

If you get something back about your AP and not your system then try entering;

/sbin/dhclient wlan0

If you receive an error message something like;

ifup wlan0
ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0

then you will need to add your own IP manually by simply entering;

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 <your IP>
/sbin/route add default gw <router IP>

This should allow you onto the internet for this session only.

If everything went well and you now have a wireless connection use the
system-config-network tool to make this configuration part of your
system configuration. If something did not go well provide the details
of where it went wrong and any error messages you saw and the relvent
information from /var/log/messages.

ok Restarting and printing this out to try once again.. I owe you lots for this time and patienbt you got lenard

nsure the amtel drivers are available and installed in
/lib/modules/<kernel-version-number>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
by entering;

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*

note: that is the ` key [by the number 1 and 'Esc' keys]
not the ' key [by the 'Enter' key] in the command above

Sample expected results;
$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_cs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_pci.ko

This above doesnt work/for some reeason it doesnt exist..
my log is basically like this :

-rw------- 1 root root 27208 Dec 15 09:01 /var/log/messages
27208= much larger number

If this works without an error then see if the interface is available
by entering;

/sbin/iwconfig

If this tool is not available then most likely the wireless-tools package
is not installed. If it is installed then lets try and find an access point
(AP) by entering;

/sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan

If you get something back about your AP and not your system then try entering;

/sbin/dhclient wlan0

If you receive an error message something like;

ifup wlan0
ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0

then you will need to add your own IP manually by simply entering;

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 <your IP>
/sbin/route add default gw <router IP>

This should allow you onto the internet for this session only.
this part dont work at all^

lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
no listing of such ^

What does not work for some reason??? Find out what kernel version your running by entering; uname -r

Then replace the `uname -r` part with the results, for example;
$ uname -r
2.6.14.4

ls /lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*

Are you saying you no longer have any atmel drivers?? If so, why??? Are you running a different kernel now then the time you had atmel drivers????

Yes, it should grow in size as events happen. You might want to review the messages file and see what happened when you added the usb belkin adapter to the system. The rest at this point does not matter until you resolve the missing atmel drivers issue, no drivers means no wireless.

`uname -r` == 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4
when this :
ls /lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*
then this = Nothing found ??? why nothing found.... I did driver download from berlios and ran make install... Then driver should be there?
How should i go about getting new wireless driver then since I have no idea how these arent in exsistance ?
