I have the DWL-650 (and use it with wvlan_cs from pcmcia_cs), and an airport, and am
sending this email over the link :)
The wvlan_cs driver doesn't support the Prism II chipset very well (eg, no WEP), but
the
new orinoco driver that Dave Gibson (ex-Linuxcare ozlabs, local to Canberra:-) just got
into the AC patchset apparently does much better. I just can't make kernel pcmcia work
on
my laptop yet :(
The Prism II chipset does have USB as well as Cardbus interfaces, so I am assuming that
that could be the right device.
Nate: Access to a machine over ssh won't help much, since I need physical access to
reboot
it when I stuff up the driver :) Thanks for the offer though, and maybe you could help
with testing.
If anyone has the device, please send me the descriptors (i.e. the bit from
/proc/bus/usb/devices with the device plugged in).
Brad
