I believe if your card uses the orinoco drivers then you should be set.
I think those have been well supported for some time.
I had to manually install the prism54 drivers at that time. I think
they are included in FC3 now although you may still have to install the
firmware for the card. Note: not all versions of the DWL-G650 uses that
chip set.
After you put in the card use the lspci command to see if the system
sees the card. Honestly I don't think my system beeps when I remove or
insert the card.
Also check your log files, I think there should be some entries there
when you do insert the card.

Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction
listen to weather forecasts and economists?
