A few things of note:
- you'll need to install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 instead of 1.1 (there's 2 similarly-named packages in the repository). For some reason 1.1 didn't work for me.
- You'll need to prevent the acx_pci kernel module from loading so ndiswrapper can take over, so add: "blacklist acx" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and then do "sudo modprobe -r acx" before moving on to loading ndiswrapper.
- You'll need to use this link:
ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwl-g650+_rev_Bx/dwl-g650+_bx_drv_utility_v3.10b19.zip
for the driver.

The rest is just the same as the links I've posted. I sincerely apologize for hijacking this bug report though. Good luck. ;)
