oh dear.  upon closer perusal of the d-link site, it
appears that d-link have _four_ dwl-650s, namely the
650, 650K1, 650L1/L2, and 650M1 (i have found myself
with the last of these).

the plain dwl-650 appears to be listed as a pcmcia
device on various websites (but not on the d-link
website, which says nothing at all about pcmcia).  the
others are noted as cardbus devices.

basic question: if the 650M1 is also pcmcia, should
the  kernel recognize as anything at all when putting
the card in?

siva.
