Belkin wireless card F5D7010 RT2500 chipset on Solaris10 IBMthinpad R40
I have a Belkin F5D7010 wireless card with RT2500 chipset .I have been trying to set up this wireless card on Solaris10 (IBM thinkpad R40 box) for the past week, without success. If i use ndis wrapper I am getting $chicago$ Segementation Fault core dumped error while running ./ndiscvt -i ndis.inf - s ndis.sys -o ndis.h command. I tried with Ral driver too, I was able to plumb and the ifconfig-a shows ral0 interface up, but no connection. Is there no light at the end of the tunnel? Any help is appreciated . I am a novice in solaris.
Thanks.

This one's easy.
Their NDIS driver only supports Broadcom chipsets.
I have asked them to update their page to reflect this, but apparently they have not.
Currently I'm using a Netgear WG511T with the ath-01 and wificonfig-01 tools and connect easily to the Internet.

Thanks, what about RAL driver , is it hopeless for this card too. At this point I am pretty much ready to get myself one of these cards

don't know. All I do know is that their NDIS driver only has the code base for Broadcom cards only. I was hoping to use a Linksys card with their NDIS port but slammed into the wall and then posted a message. Support for any card other then Broadcom is simply not in the code base so there is nothing that you can do.

Works, forgot to mention that I needed cardbus-0.3 as well.
So Netgear WG511T
with
ath-01 for Solaris 10 support
wificonfig -01 for Solaris 10 support
cardbus-0.3 to get cardbus support added to Solaris 10.
The Netgear card is cardbus and Solaris 10 only has PCMCIA support without cardbus.
