I have the same access point and also a Belkin 7010
54g pcmcia card which there still doesn't appear to be
a driver for.

The 11MB card is supported but 54g support appears to
be slow in coming forward. I bought mine because I saw
support for Belkin cards and assumed support for my
card would be forthcoming but I'm still waiting.

The Linux PCMCIA site is at
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ the suported cards
list contains a wireless section and is your best
advisory source.

A search on Google for linux pcmcia 54g suggests that
the 54g spec is not yet suported but also produces
http://www.jonobacon.org/writing/techdocs/F5D6020uinlinux.php
as the 5th result. Good grief, is there anywhere safe
from this man? ;)

Seems that patience is a virtue when awaiting 54g
support.
