I bought a Dell D600 laptop and it came with no wireless card. I bought a Belkin
F5D6020 ver.2 PCMCIA card. I am trying to make it work in Slackware 12.
I tried downloading the driver file for it but was unable to find it.
I find that with the card plugged in it lights up both lights. I think this
means it is powered up and that it sees some wireless signals. Maybe I am wrong
but I also noticed that when I pulled the card out of its slot with the laptop
running I get to see a message saying:
# eth1: firmware atmel_at76c502e.bin is missing, cannot start.
I googled around and found this file.
Where does it belong in my laptop in Slackware 12?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it should be installed in /lib/firmware/

Thanks much.
It looks like that is the correct place for the file as I now have one led lit
for power and the other winking.
It sees my router now using kwifimanager but still no dhcp.
Gonna look around for a bit and see if I can figure things out.
Thanks again.

Take a look at the wireless section in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
