I don't know what chipset the dwl-g650+ has. You should show us what
pciconf -lv says so we can tell. (No, it doesn't matter what part number
the board distributor assigns: they keep switching chipsets so often it's
impossible to tell what the card really is until you plug it in.)

Show us the crash log then.

No, it does something. It just doesn't do what you want. You should
have run it with -d and recorded the debugging output for us to see,
instead of running it with -Bw.

Try using "-D ndis" to force the use of the NDIS driver support
in wpa_supplicant. If you do this, you should also run "ndis_events -a"
before starting wpa_supplicant. (I'm assuming since you're posting on
freebsd-current that you're attempting this with -current. If not,
you should mention what version of FreeBSD you have. The -D ndis option
is available in FreeBSD 6.0 and later.)
If you really want to figure out what's wrong with the native BSD
support, you should run wpa_supplicant with -d like I said, save the
output, then post it here.
