Hi All,

A friend gave me a Belkin F5D7050 USB wifi adaptor which I am struggling to 
get going.  I checked the Wiki which describes how to use ndiswrapper but it 
also mentions that there are drivers in portage for this purpose.  

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Belkin_F5D7050

I opted for the latter, set the rt73usb USE flag and emerged the rt2x00 
drivers.

However I still cannot see my new device as a network interface.  Can you 
help?
