I've seen this problem too.  I have a DWL-650 and it cannot transmit even
the most modest size files without freezing.  I looked into the problem and
I'm convinced there is some sort of bug in device (or its firmware).  I moved
that card to a machine I don't use much and haven't given it much thought.

Oh, and the problem goes away if you turn off WEP.
