Cheers for your reply, Stuart. I followed the instructions on the link you sent, but it's still the same. I think the computer's supported the card all along (and it worked when the laptop had windoze installed) but I can't enable wireless (see pic in this thread, a screenshot from a while back: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151646#post7230668).

Some Belkin cards require firmware loaded in to work.
