Belkin F5D7000 v1000 in 7 64-bit
Hi, I've got a Belkin F5D7000 v1000 with a Broadcom chipset. Was wondering if anyone here has been able to get this card working in 7 64-bit?

Hi Yezza,
Hopefully someone here knows of a solution, but I'm not seeing Vista or Win7 drivers for any versions of the card earlier than v4000: Belkin Australia : Support : F5D7000 Wireless G Desktop Card - Driver

Hi yezza have you tried Broadcom direct? I know that they release drivers MUCH quicker than Belkin do, I have this issue myself with a Belkin USB stick, mine is Ralink though.
If you can post the long model number on the stick (it should start with a K i think) then i might be able to find chipset drivers for you and we can "hack" them into working with win7 like i did with my Ralink ones. No promises though
Hey guys, thanks for the response. I don't have 7 installed yet, but plan on doing so by the end of next week.
Thanks, I will take a look. :)You may want to try this thread for more info: windows 7 and the F5D7000 wireless card question
The only thing I can see that starts with a K on the chip is the FCC ID, which is K75-F5D7000A. There are lots of other numbers, too:If you can post the long model number on the stick (it should start with a K i think) then i might be able to find chipset drivers for you and we can "hack" them into working with win7 like i did with my Ralink ones.

version 1134
On the silver chip, there's a number on the bottom right corner: P81552-A
On the Broadcom chip are the following numbers, each on a separate line:
BCM4306KFB (note: can't tell if that 6 is a 6 or an 8... almost positive it's a 6 though, and don't have a magnifying glass to confirm)
HG0410 P30
715208 N
Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks for the help.
there is something very fishy going on here... every single driver for that chipset is offline =/ how odd... and broadcom dont seem to have it.
By the way, yeah i did mean the FCC ID I couldn't remember the name but you provided me with the info i needed anyway in the broadcom bit. thats the chipset number. Ill keep looking and get back to you if i find something
edit:Im really sorry... looks like you might be out of luck. Time to upgrade perhaps?Broadcom offers support for Ethernet NIC products and does not provide end-user support for other networking products at this time. Please contact your product's manufacturer for support related issues.
I posted a solution on these forums yesterday for the Belkin card, but now I can't find it.
You need to use the list of built in drivers.
Oddly, Win 7 has the driver for the RT2500 (Its the chipset that the bekin uses) but it doesn't recognise it.
Get to Device Manager, Right click, -> Update driver -> Browse -> Let Me Pick -> Network Adaptors -> RaLink Technology INC. (last one) -> then look for RT2500.
And your done!
I think this is the post you're talking about: Wireless adapter on 64 Bit
