When I put the card in on my 5.2rc1 laptop it told me card unsuported. I looked arround on the Internet and found my card had a prism3 chipset, good but bad. Since the name of the card, when read by pccardd, is a little different I put the card in my 4.9 laptop and added a line to /etc/pccard.conf. When the card went in the wi driver was loaded, but this came up: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pccardd[42]: Card "D-Link"("DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP" ) [ISL37101P-10] [A3] matched "D-Link" (DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP") [(null) ] [(null)] wi0 at port 0x280-0x2ff irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0000 wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: init failed wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: mac read failed 5 device_probe_and attach: wi0 attach returned 5 /kernel: stray irq 3 pccardd[42]: driver allocation failed for D-Link(DWL-650 W ireless PC Card RevP): Input/output error Warner, The help you give the people on this list is excelent.

The Lucent Wavelan cards work fine, the one I have is sold as an Avaya (Avaya Wireless World Card 11 Mb/s GOLD) but it's the same thing. It works instantly under 4.X and even 5.2rc2.
