I will try that again, although I remember that I tried that once
already in the past and it didn't work with the DWL-650H. Please note
that the DWL-650H is very different from DWL-650, despite the similar
naming. It is being advertised as an "improved" version of the 650 (and
indeed it seems it is more robust with more range and performance). It
is based on Symbol firmware.
