DWL-650 respectively. The packaging claims that the
DI-624 works under
Linux, but the card does not. Since this appears to
be rather bleeding
edge, I was wondering if anyone is using these or
can at least advise.
Thank you.

Hey Bill,
I haven't used the card (laptop has a built in
broadcom and I use it with http://ndiswrapper.sf.net
), but look here:

and here

I can assure you that the D-Link DWL-650+ card (the one with the curved
antenna) will NOT work with Linux as it uses a TI chipset and they won't
release the API to open source. It works quite well with ndiswrapper,
however.
