Hi, Siabahn;

This forum...

...suggests using the Aetheros drivers with the DWL-G650+, but I don't 
have one so I can't try it out for you. This post in particular seems 
to suggest that some people have got it working without too much 
trauma...

...and includes a glowing recommendation for madwifi, so try installing 
madwifi through Ubuntu's package manager, and see if that helps. If 
not, your best option is your local Linux user group (someone who can 
plug and unplug stuff and so forth to see what happens), start here:
