Kinda an interesting trick, as the DWL-650's are no longer produced, though I bought one about a month ago that was still in the pipeline... New card is "DWL-650+"

That's bad...

This basicly confirms the above bad...

Doesn't matter, if everything worked, SOMETHING should have been seen, even if "not configured"

Cardbus cards in a PCCard slot? Not sure what happens, but problems are likely...

One of two things:
1) The card is not compatable with your laptop.
2) The PCMCIA support for your laptop is imperfect...
It looks like (from your dmesg) your PCCard (PCMCIA) chipset is supported and at least semi-functional. If it works with other devices, you probably have problem #1 above, if it doesn't work with other devices, problem #2. Could have both, actually...
(dmesg snipped for size, thanks for including it!)
