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



Search DSL forums for keyword "ndiswrapper" for more help.
