D-Link DWL-A650

Overview
The device has an additional model name of DW-690.

At least one model (FCC ID::KA22002020018-1) redirects to FCC ID::PPD-AR5BCB-00021 (Atheros AR5BCB-00021)

Despite the fact that the device uses the FCC ID of the AR5001A reference design, the device appears to instead use AR5210 (the drivers do not reference 168c:0011).
