How to Install a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card on Linux
Developed with user-ease in mind, the Ubuntu Linux operating system is made to work with new as well as existing computer components. Although earlier versions had trouble setting up wireless drivers, Ubuntu Linux has integrated a wider array of device drivers, along with a useful Internet search system to help locate the correct ones. If you are putting a Belkin Wireless G card in your notebook, you can install the right drivers quickly and be online in no time.
