Pretty much what the tittle says, i would like to know if Belkin F5D7050 (USB Wifi adapter) would work with CentOS 6.2.
I'm planing on buying this for my server and would like to check to see it will work first... Also if it requires installation of anything it would be amazing if you could give specific instructions on how to do this (because im a newb at the moment) |

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.
All I can find on the fora is an old and unresolved Centos-5 thread. More information about the hardware, as explained in the recommended reading, would help to determine the compatibility and potential availability of drivers. A google on Belkin F5D7050 Linux at least indicates it has been around some time and some people have made it work on some distros. Narrowing that to belkin f5d7050 CentOS finds things like the Wireless Wiki page. Seems chances are good, but the only real test that counts is with the hardware in hand. Sometimes manufacturers change the chipset without bothering to change the model number. |

Ok so instead I went and bought a iogear GWU625 which says it supports Linux,
But I have no idea on how to install the drivers included (I would change the post name but editing apparently isn't allowed) |

If you had done the Recommended Reading as Phil suggested you would have known to provide more information on your system by running ./getinfo.sh, after having installed the wireless device, obviously. Without detailed info on the device you got (and preferably on the drivers included) there's little we can offer in terms of help.
