belkin F5D8053 wireless USB - working

I'd like to share a way to get the Belkin wireless USB stick working (model F5D8053) using linux drivers, since I only found solutions using ndiswrapper on this forum. This solution was taken from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919044&page=3 .

download the rt2870 pkgbuild

yaourt -G rt2870

download the sources

makepkg -o

edit rt2870.h -> in the device list, add the device as listed in lsusb - for me it was

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 050d:815c Belkin Components

build and install the module

makepkg -ecis

load the module

modprobe rt2870
