Thanks Eddie! Do you know that I was looking for Linux drivers for my DWL 650+ for almost a year over two years ago? I completely gave up and bought another card, the orinoco gold... which I was very happy with.
 
I am looking forward to trying these drivers out and hooking up my 650+.
 
Did you know that the 650+ has an external antenna jack? You have to open it up and then move a resistor or something. I never had the balls to do it, didn't want to trash a 50 dollar card in the name of research.
 
Thanks again.

I highly recommend stayting away from the wifi modules! Use acx100 http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ for (dwl 650+ and 520+).
Reason being, $, quality, support and lack of pen testing use. All and all, it's a poor choice. I use the acx100 with a 520+ and a
650+; perfect. Little tricky to install for pcmcia though; learn learn learn...

Wanted to warn ya all,
eddie
