Networking :: need help connecting

i just got dsl linux and have never used linux before i'm figuring it out ok but can not figur out how to configure my wirless card. i have a belkin fsd7010 card and when i boot it finds it and auto configs and under my card manager it shows the card and all kinds of info about it. i coulden't connect to the internet so i look in the forums and found i need to install a file I got the file but now what do i do with it? i'm booting from a live cd.

Does any one know what to do?

According to this guy, it is possible to get this card to work with the NDISWRAPPER utility and your Microsoft Windows driver file:

# Card: Belkin F5D7010 54g (802.11g and 802.11b capable) 32-bit CardBus wireless card

* Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
* pciid: 14e4:4320 (rev 03)
* Driver: files/Drivers/WinMe98/bcmwl5a.inf on installation CD (WinXP2K/bcmwl5.inf did NOT work, and fewer errors were printed when running ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf in the same directory as bcmwl5.sys - don't know if that's strictly necessary)
* Other: See [Distributions] for details on this Fedora Core 3 install. Using ndiswrapper 0.12. For kernels newer than 2.6.9-1.681_FC3, I had to upgrade to ndiswrapper 1.1 (final). -- Beland
