I have the D-Link DWL-650, which is an extremely similar card, 
mostly working.  BUT, it doesn't work in -STABLE as of a few 
days ago.  I had to go back to 4.3-RELEASE to get it to work 
(actually, I CVSUPed to RELENG_4_3, which is -RELEASE with 
security patches added).  If you don't already own one of the 
cards, though, you might want to hold off on rushing out to 
buy one until someone confirms that it works.

You could also install -STABLE and then replace the wi driver 
source with the -RELEASE source.  In any case, use the wi driver.  
/defaults/pccard.conf is probably already configured to recognize 
the card.  I don't have a 4.3 system handy to check.  Use wicontrol 
to configure the card.

I have not been able to get encryption working.  If you do, please 
let me know.  I'm rather limited in how I can use my card without 
encryption, and I'm about ready to go buy another brand if that's 
what it takes.

- Bob
