Thank you all for your help so far.

Now, I went of the D-Link website and checked the DWL-650 I have, which
is indeed the top one on the list, as Warren suggested, it should work then.

I also, tried the 'pciconf',as James suggested, but that doesn't list
anything related to wi0. All the other devices in the laptop are there,
but not the D-link.

I also appended my kernel configuration file in case that help. Again,
I would be most grateful for any further suggestions.

Sven.
