They are in stock at my local office max. : From what I've gathered, the DWL-650 is a Prism2 802.11b card that works : fine on any of the recent releases of FreeBSD, although it has a : relatively weak antenna. There is some question on firmware updates and : whether the card's keyed shape matches the appropriate 3.3V or 5V slot. Firmware should be able to flashed no problem. The '650 that I have is definitely 5.0V card. I've updated the '650 from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3 w/o a hitch. Don't know if I can further upgrade it to, say, 1.4.2 which just came out or not.
