I have a DWL-650 and have had one heck of a time getting it to work in 
Linux now that I'm here in Austin.  I'm using kernel 2.4.19, pcmcia-cs 
3.20 (I think), linux-wlan-ng 0.1.14 and 0.1.15pre5.  None of them will 
associate with my access point since I had to move it to channel 8 since 
6 and 7 are used somewhere in this vicinity already.  WinXP picked it up 
just fine, I just had to enter the WEP preshared key.

Also, the sparse docs for wlan-ng don't make it clear if I can specify 
different settings and decide based on AP's MACS rather than the card's 
MAC.  If I could do this I could wander from campus to home to work 
without changing a thing.
