Breezy recognized and is now using my Dlink Air-Plus DWL-G650 without 
problems.  Here's a quote from a message I grabbed of another list 
recently dated 03-03-2005 : "Unfortunately, G650+ (note the + sign) uses 
TI, not Atheros so Ndiswrapper is the only way at the moment (as far as 
I know)".  That TI in the quote I assume is Texas Instruments.
