The airport slot doesn't show up as a PCMCIA slot, so having that
enabled won't help. It also isn't a PCI device, so it won't show
up in lspci. Unless you load a driver, it's unlikely that dmesg
would have anything either. Did you try loading the airport driver
manually? Based on poking around, it looks like the dlink 650 is
based on a hermes chipset just like the official Apple Airport card.
I don't know if that is enough to make the airport driver work,
but it might be worth a try since you have already gone this far.
