I can confirm that the Belkin wireless G notebook card does work with

Unfortunately my mileage varied...
I installed the Belkin PCI card (purchased from LinuxEmporium) under
Ubuntu Breezy as advised at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/RalinkRT2500
The page suggests that typing "lsmod|grep 2.00" should tell me if I've got
the Rt2x00 modules and "If you do, then you're halfway there!"
Unfortunately I can't find the bit that tells me what to do if I don't,
and I'm no-way there.
So I tried going to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/RalinkRT2500/DriverAndRaconfighttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/RalinkRT2500/DriverAndRaconfig
and downloaded the RT2500 Beta, and a load of other "build-essential
linux-headers" and gcc-3.4, which I didn't understand.
I changed to the /Module subdirectory and typed "make". "The module is
now built," says the page. It lies. My terminal says, "make: ***
/lib/modules/2.6.10-2-k7/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt2500.ko failed to build!"
Any suggestions where I go from here, because I haven't the faintest idea
what I'm doing? (This is why I was kind of hoping it would work "out of
the box" as the Ubuntu Wiki promises.)
