I have had no problems with DWL-G650+ and using ndiswrappers. I know ndis is ugly. but at least it works. I have had problems using madwifi, and acx-100 drivers. my wireless connection is as good as the windows connection around the house, usually my problem with connection stems from the D-link wireless router/switch requires a power cycle (must be running windows)
