It's unlikely that you have a DWL-650 if it doesn't work.  You probably 
(definitely?) have a DWl-650+.  I have the former and it's worked 
perfectly for years.  The latter doesn't work with any "native" Linux 
drivers.  The version with the + is the "enhanced" version that 
supports speeds up to 22Mbps.

You have a few choices:
1) Go back to Frys and see if they have the DWL-650 WITHOUT the +
2) Get it to work using the NDIS Wrapper and the driver from the ACX100 
project.  I found at least one reference that somebody got their 650+ 
to work with that combo:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

and the success blurb:
