I installed PCLinuxOS but it doesn't seem to work with my belkin wireless USB adapter. It works fine when I boot it on windows, but on Linux it doesn't.

I've had this problem with a few linux distros, the most simple solution I've found is to enable "legacy USB" in the computer's BIOS.
If your computer doesn't have this option in it's bios you will probably not have much luck getting it to work.
(Just to be clear, your talking about a wireless mouse and/or keyboard right?)

That is a common problem with most Linux distros because Wireless manufacturers seldom supply drivers for Linux.
Go to the PCLinuxOS web site and see if there's an answer on their Forums.
