It's apparently been working for PRISM II cards since around July 4th, but I just got around to updating my system to confirm that the '650 works. Keep in mind that if you aren't using WEP, anyone with a null network name in their NIC can probably connect to (and use) your AP if they can get within range. That is what my real worry is - I've been turning off the AP when I wasn't using it.
