After inserting the D-Link card you should probably run a quick 'ifconfig ath0' 
to see if you have a new network-interface - the 'ath' driver is a generic part 
of the generic kernel, so if you havn't done any changes to your local kernel 
you should not need to 'kldload if_ath' (to load the appropriate kernel module).

I have the same pc-card, but I did a bit off kernel-modding, so I manually load 
the 'ath' module ... I'm running an IBM R51 with the build in Intel2200 ('iwi'), 
but the Atheros chipset of the DWL-650 is more flexible and better supported for 
certain things.
