Note these chipset when dealing with drivers, most specifically the "SU" (and not "CU/CUS", which is the RTL8188CUS/8192CU). The newer series will be a Realtek 8188SU compatible. Latter kernel releases like 2.6.38 or 2.6.40/3.0 will have them, possibly as release and in the same driver as the RT2870, etc. In Linux, you'll need a recent 2.6.3x series kernel with the RT3070 "staging" drivers that are not yet fully QA tested (e.g., for Fedora, you'll need the RPM Fusion "kmod-staging" package). I tend to prefer universal/generic IHV drivers because I hate it when two vendor's drivers fight when you've loaded a vendor-specific driver, then changed the device (at least if you install more than one, not likely in this case, but you never know when you'll need to switch devices). While you can load the Belkin drivers, the more universal/generic drivers from Ralink itself seem to work fine. Note this number when dealing with drivers. The older series is a Ralink RT3070 compatible. One is the older F6D series and the newer is the F7D/F9L series (my F9L1001 actually reports itself as a F7D1101). I have been exposed to two (2) Belkin 150N devices.
