I have set up the belkin version under both SuSE 2.4.20 and Debian 2.4.18. 
I highly recommend the Berlios version of the driver.  My iwconfig package
did not support some changes so I modified the at76c503a.c source and
reconfigured.  Changes were essid, essid length, and channel if I remember
correctly.  On another machine with the ohci board the whole thing crashed
the machine during boot (gave up after a few tries and went pci).  The
berlios was better than the version that shipped with SuSE.  I don't
remeber if Debian had a version.  Either way the Berlios was the way to go.

Good Luck
