Hi. I have a Belkin card, it is the F5D7010. Part way through production they changed the chipsets.
Early models had Broadcom chips meaning they worked without drivers. Later v3 models require drivers which can be found on the Ralink site. Version 4 is supposed to work and version 5 doesn't at all. My v3 works fine with the Ralink drivers, but I prefer broadcom based cards as it means it works with the AirPort software and your machine knows no difference.

Belkin Card 802.11g. On the Belkin site they clam that you do not need any software. That is true, I used this card on the same powerbook and software before it froze up and I had to redo the system software.
