I'm using a DWL-650, and it seems to work fine with the wi driver except
that it cannot do encryption.  I believe that is true of all PRISM II
based cards, which means most of the cheap ones.  Someone is working on
adding full PRISM II support to the wi driver, and expects to have it
ready in about 6 weeks.  Check the -mobile archives for more info on
that.

I have not tested mine in ad-hoc mode: I don't know if that works.

So, where can I get one for $75?  I know a few people who might buy
them for that price (I might even buy one for my wife ;).
