Beware that some manufacturers change the chipset in a particular product
without changing the name or major version number - I've been bitten with this
before by a D-Link wireless PCI adaptor (that I eventually got working using
NDIS, but that's another story).
From memory, the ural manpage specifies only revision 2 of that particular
wireless adaptor as using the RT2500 chipset and therefore supported. When I
was looking for a wireless USB adaptor I looked at this one and could only find
revision 4 around - check the documentation that came with it, or ask Belkin
what the chipset is.
You may be able to get ndis working - see the manpage for ndisgen.
Alternatively I'm using an Asus WL-167G (bought on ebay) which is supported by
ural and works perfectly.
Hope that helps.
Peter Harrison.
