[lug] Linux friendly USB wireless

[Chan Kar Heng]

hi there.

I think the model is actually F5D7050ak v4.
happen to buy one recently since finding out that one can successfully 
plug & play it.
there are quite a few variations of Belkin USB WiFi adapters.

some info i've found just recently, in case you're interested:

http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Belkin

hope it helps.
