Hi, I'm using a Belkin Basic Wireless USB adapter model: F7D1101 v1
in a attempt to connect to my network with beagleboard in Angstrom.
I'm not having any luck. I tried enabling wifi in the network setup
GUI but that doesn't seem to have worked.
on boot it detects the hardware:
[ 18.530364] usb 1-2.4.1: new high speed USB device using ehci-omap
and addre6
[ 18.658111] usb 1-2.4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=050d,

wireless tools doesn't seem to find it from root shell

Am I missing something obvious here? Any suggestions for getting it to
work are appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Grant
