I am fairly new to Fedora Linux.
I just went through the wireless driver dance for a D-Link DWL-G650 card. So I understand your pain. :) Unfortunately wireless support under Linux is going to be problematic depending on the particular wireless card you want to use.
The best suggestion I can make is find out what chip set your card has then find one of the several driver projects that supports it. In my case I found that my card had the prism chip set and that the prism54.org group had the driver that worked for it. (search the list for DWL-G650 for how to get this setup) The setup process was not to bad. But it does not integrate this card with the other wireless tools that come with Fedora as nicely as I would like. But it does work.
Some of the other driver projects I came across on my quest was the madwifi and wlang (sp?). Possibly one of those will support your wireless card.
I did a google search and found this link that sounds promising.

Sounds like they used yet another chipset in this model card.
