Belkin F5D8053 v6 Network Adapter Driver/Utility 6.0 403 downloads. Network Card. I've tried getting my Belkin N Wireless adapter to work on Ubuntu many times with no luck at all. Each time I seem to arrive at a dead end. How do I get a Belkin F5D8053 wireless adapter working? Ask Question Asked 8 years, 2 months ago. Which is ridiculous. Wondering if that is a problem with Linux or with an adapter. This is my second.
For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD64 - the native rt2870sta driver will handle most wireless n usb adapters including Belkin F5D8053. Make sure you add rt2870sta at the end of the /etc/modules file
Open in terminal: 'sudo gedit /etc/modules' then add the line:
rt2870sta
then save the file and reboot.
There is no need to install the belkin windows driver using wine1.2 and ndiswrapper, nor should you blacklist any native usb drivers. I would assume this solution will also apply to i386 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Guide to getting Belkin F5D8053 Wireless N USB Adapter to work in Ubuntu as described on http://blog.vaxius.net/?p=45
Copied from 'Sean's Blog' @ http://blog.vaxius.net/ :
Using Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter with Ubuntu I picked up a wireless N router and adapter a while ago–both from Belkin–and decided to get them working with Ubuntu. This is how I got it to work.
Get the driver Step number one is to download the driver from Belkin’s website.
Extract the driver files The download from Belkin results in an executable from which the necessary driver files cannot be extracted using cabextract. To get at them, you need to actually run the install program using wine, so install wine first. $ sudo apt-get install wine
Now you need to go to the directory where you downloaded the drivers and run it. $ wine f5d8053v3_ww_02.0.0.04_w2.exe
Afterwards, the relevant files will be found inside your .wine directory, but I’ll get back to that later. First you need to install something that will let you use a Windows driver.
Make your Windows driver speak Linux You now have a driver designed to control your wireless adapter, but it was also designed to run exclusively on Windows. This calls for ndiswrapper, whose job is to act as translator for the Windows driver and Linux system. As far as Belkin’s driver is concerned, it’s running on a Windows system. Note that you can also use ndisgtk–a graphical version of ndiswrapper–for this purpose. $ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
Now we’ll go into the directory that the setup program created in wine. $ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Belkin/F5D8053/XP2K
Now it’s time to wrap up the driver and load it up.
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i rt2870.inf $ sudo ndiswrapper -m $ sudo depmod -a $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
In a few moments, it should show up in the Network Manager applet, where you can now connect to your network using you Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter.
Note: Network Manager will probably not show the correct speed you’re connected at, but transfer a file over the network with your new adapter and you’ll see that it’s definitely going at N-wireless speeds.
I bought a Belkin N F5D8053 because it was listed on a site of wireless USB adapters that work on linux. Turns out, the one I bought was version 6, not version 3 like the one listed as compatible. I can run the driver setup CD, but it doesn't recognize the adapter as being plugged in and therefore can't get ahead in the setup and install the drivers. Anybody know a way to get this to work? Or will I have to return it? <Ugh
If it helps I'm trying to run it on Linux Mint 15, 64 bit. I have installed the Belkin on windows 7 and it works fine on there.
Thanks!
