This card I have also had problems with. It appears to be an 8185, but
nothing works with it. Even in Windows, unless you have the Belkin
drivers, it won't work properly.

I couldn't load the Windows driver with ndisgen either, and
ndiswrapper in Linux doesn't work either, nor does the Realtek Linux
driver.
