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:
