Rusty with this stuff, kinda a pain working on so many OSs. In any case, 
setup a 5.2 system, slapped in a Belkin F5D7000 802.11g wireless card. 
compiled a custom kernel and I guess i was assuming to see it pop up in 
dmesg like my other Intel card did. ifconfig -a shows up nothing. I believe 
the card shows up now that i modified the config with wi, wifi that it says 
uth or was it ugen0.

Doing this from memory, will have to post more details later. In any case, 
is there something I am missing in the kernel, or the config file i need to 
include to allow it to properly detect the card. Once it is detected 
properly, how do I configure the card? params with ifconfig or is there 
another util just for wireless cards?
