[REQ] Belkin F5D8010 v1 no win 7 drivers

Most importantly, what chip is in it?
  One way to deduce is via the original driver.
  Another is via pci-ids_ucw_cz or databases from Ray Hinchliffe's wonderful work SIV.
    In linux, "lspci -nn -b" works well in Terminal.
The most risky yet the most certain method, is visual verification via manual teardown.

Quote of pci-ids_ucw_cz:

I think we have already deduced what fabless chipmaker's is in it?

How about Alienware drivers?  http://support.alienware.com/Support_Pa … aspx?os=WV
  d'oh.  That seems to contain AGN300 drivers.

    The linux driver seems to lack some features.  https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Wireless_adap … pset_table

The latest i have in the packs is {DriverVer = 02/04/2005, 1.4.4.183}, so if you can find something updated, i will include & credit your username in changelogs.
  Perhaps Internet Archive might still have some of those old pages, and drivers, archived.

  What did you find?

     Please post links to any drivers you find for any AirGo wifi chipset.
Use the hwids_tool link in my signature, and do try "lspci -nn -b" in Terminal from LinuxMint, or similar, so that you can find the all-important SUBSYS value.

One of these drivers could work with 32bit Vista or Seven.  We might need to find a signed executable, though  requirements were retarded in 32bit compared to 64bit, iirc.

Looks like that driver could benefit from a UDA-style driver architecture for both NT5 & NT6 32bit.
  Will post a test-pack if possible, & see if any files are signed, other than the Security Catalog.

TechDud to the rescue again, thank you !!!

Alienware driver you mentioned
Airgo Networks AGN300 driver doesn't look suitable so didn't try
From that driver, EngineVersion=10.1.0.238
ProductGUID=D1FC9D0D-C4A9-4ED7-B223-582B327EAD5D

Netgear one is suitable but its unsigned and (other than that installed without a fight) as you found shows the same detail for version and build date you say
Netgear has {DriverVer   = 06/30/2005, 1.5.0.147} available for PCI\VEN_17CB&DEV_0001&SUBSYS_000117CB

under winXP with belkin driver installed
PCI\VEN_17CB&DEV_0001&SUBSYS_000117CB&REV_01\4&2D732E57&0&0058: Belkin Wireless Pre-N Notebook Network Card

Under win7 without a driver
PCI\VEN_17CB&DEV_0001&SUBSYS_000117CB&REV_01\5&25814920&0&0020F0: Ethernet Controller

under win7 uing Netgear driver you found
PCI\VEN_17CB&DEV_0001&SUBSYS_000117CB&REV_01\5&25814920&0&0020F0: Airgo Networks True MIMO (tm) Wireless Adapter
