You need to find out what IC the adapter is based upon, and then
verify what version (if any) of the kernel you need to support that
device.

Here is a search using the Belkin part number:

Looking around a bit, we find the chipset is rt2870sta, and the first
hit is a thread where someone reports success with using the device
via ndiswrapper and the windows drivers.
Additionally, http://www.google.com/search?q=F5D8053+linux brings up
step-by-step instructions on a blog about using a native(!) ralink
driver with ndiswrapper:

Of course, most of the above results are Ubuntu-centric, so you'll
have to dig a little deeper.  I have no idea about ndiswrapper on
Fedora.  Google really is your friend.
