Subject: Driver for USB device with ID 050d:615a
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:51:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5087035E.9010609@lwfinger.net> (raw)

Arend and Franky,

I recently purchased a Belkin N600 DB USB dongle on Ebay. I wanted to get the 
model with a Realtek RTL8192DU chip. Instead I got a version with a Broadcom 
chip, which lsusb identifies as

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 050d:615a Belkin Components F7D4101 / F9L1101 802.11abgn 
Wireless Adapter [Broadcom BCM4323]

I have since acquired a different device with the Realtek chip, thus I could 
return the Belkin device; however, the cost was minimal and I will keep it if 
there is a driver for it. Is it a brcmfmac device that is not yet in the device 
tables, or is it some other sort of unit that may never be supported under Linux?

Thanks,

Larry
