	I've got *two* different D-LINK DWL-650 cards. 

	This is one.
wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 flags 0x10000 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:05:5d:a7:51:02
wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163-SST-flash
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 0.03.00, Station 0.08.02

	And this is another (the same card used by José Mari)

wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 4 flags 0x10000 slot 1 on pccard1
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:05:5d:5b:ff:98
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.05

	So, it seems that D-Link is selling two different cards with the same name. 
The first has 40-bit WEP (with the Prism2 chip), and the second has 128-bit 
WEP (Prism2.5 chip).

	I am using both of them without problems, but I'm not using WEP.




	Borja.
