It may, and it may not. If it's an earlier DWL 650 then it is a Prism
chipset and will work just fine. For later models they switched to (I
think) the ACX100 chipset, which is poorly supported, although there
appears to be an open-source effort around for it more recently that
might get you going.
Your best starting point is Jean Tourrilhes pages here:

There is an acx100-source package in Debian, so you should be able to
build the kernel + modules, if that's what you need to do.
Good luck,
Andrew McMillan.
