I tried "testing" driver and it works after many times of restarting the 
card using cardctl......it looked like it receives erroneous packets 
occasionally.
David, I am wondering if the driver does changes to the card physically? 
The reason I am asking because I've encountered this strange problem 
after installing the driver. The computer (a laptop) uses this DWL-650H 
card is actually a client which shares internet connection off my host 
desktop computer (using DWL-500). Before the driver, my laptop client is 
able to use internet and achieves high speed (500K/s) under Windows XP 
whereas the host is running under Red Hat 7.3 with dhcpd (connecting to 
Telstra BigPond Cable)...etc....now with the same setup, wireless 
connection would just drop out whenever the client is trying to access 
internet at high speed (e.g. download files from local Telstra site) and 
after that, it's never able to reconnect again and would need to do 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart on my host computer.....any ideas?

Jan, thanks for the file. Just one little thing, I am too stupid to 
figure out how to actually install the patch, would you mind instructing 
me?

Thanks
Johnny
