I believe if your card uses the orinoco drivers then you should be set. I think those have been well supported for some time. I had to manually install the prism54 drivers at that time. I think they are included in FC3 now although you may still have to install the firmware for the card. Note: not all versions of the DWL-G650 uses that chip set. After you put in the card use the lspci command to see if the system sees the card. Honestly I don't think my system beeps when I remove or insert the card. Also check your log files, I think there should be some entries there when you do insert the card. -- Scot L.
