Go here and see from this list if you can determine which version of the DWL 650 you have. Is it one that uses the Prism 2 drivers? Which distro are you using?

Yes, and there are multiple revisions of this card. You need to know exactly what revision that you have, as they each have different chipsets, as you can see from the referenced chart that DapperDan posted.
 
Also, is it a DWL-650 or 650+?
