It really depends on WHICH DWL-650 you have.  There are at least three
versions.  The original is based on the Intersil chipset and should work
with the wavelan_cs driver.  The other versions are based on the TI
chipset and there are issues with any driver.  There are some
open-source drivers that I've heard will work.  The one that really
works well is ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net).  It's a
wrapper that allows the Windows drivers to work under Linux.
