Hi everyone,
I recently got one fresh new beagleboard-xm. When I plugged my Belkin
F5D7050 WIreless Adapter into the USB port, it got recognized.
[ 66.562438] usb 2-2.4: new high speed USB device using ehci-omap
and address 4
[ 66.875854] usb 2-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=050d,
idProduct=705a
[ 66.898040] usb 2-2.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[ 66.913085] usb 2-2.4: Product: Belkin 54g USB Network Adapter
[ 66.937408] usb 2-2.4: Manufacturer: Belkin
So I try to see what I can do with it, and I typed "ifconfig", it
gives me:
root@beagleboard:~# ifconfig

I don't see the wlan0 interface, only the usb ethernet device is
there. Then I tried "iwconfig."
root@beagleboard:~# iwconfig
-sh: iwconfig: not found
This Angstrom image does not even have the wireless-tools package
installed......
Can anyone help me check this? I am start to wondering if I need to
replace the image to an older version to get wireless connection
work.....
