Not only that, but even for the DWL-650 they changed the chipset.
In particular, if it's the "ver. P" kind, it is NOT supported natively.

See:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2004-April/003729.html

Sadly, many online vendors won't tell you the revision. For the DWL-650
Ver. P, it does show on the box as a sticker, though, in case you get a
chance to see it before you buy (I didn't).
