Unfortunately manufactures have been known to change the chipset in
cards and use the same model number.  One Dlink Air-Plus DWL-G650 card
may have a prism chipset while another will have an atheros chipset.
Each will need different drivers.  

About the only way to know for sure is to get the card and run lspci to
find out what is really inside.
