No. You need to configure them first but it's not a big deal. It's very easy
and everything is
well documented (freebsd.org/handbook). I am using Cisco Aironet (ancontrol
instead
of wicontrol)

>I found that the dlink-650+ is just not going to work.

Yes, because they've changed the chipset in the card, but didn't change the
model. I have the
same problem and I sold the card on ebay recently.
