The D-Link DWL-650 that I have is a Prism II card. It uses the orinoco 
and orinoco_cs drivers. I could also use the wlan-ng or the hostap 
drivers as far as I know but I've not tried them. (These drivers support 
scanning.)

What concerns me is that the pcmcia slot did not appear to function at 
all. I tried putting in a modem card and the wireless card and there was 
no beep to indicate that a card had been inserted into the pcmcia slot. 
I'm concerned that the pcmcia slot may not be supprted as it is in RH9.

To get your DWL-G650 to work in FC2, did you have to install manually 
any drivers or is it all included in FC2?
