I can't figure out what's wrong with my hashcat mask

[John_Doe]

Laugh at me all you want, provided you point out my blunder!

The SSID and password are similar to these:
DVW123456AA
DVW1234561234AA
(actual ssid & pass not those, but you get the idea)

I wanted to test my ability to use hashcat, so on a Windows 7 pc I typed this:

oclHashcat32 -m 2500 -a 3 -1 ?dABCDEF DVW123456AA.hccap "DDW123456 ?1?1?1?1 AA"

Hashcat tried 65,536 possibles and didn't find the pass. But, I expected hashcat to make over a million guesses, so... what am I doing wrong?

So here, DVW1234561234AA, the numbers are JUST numbers and AA are just letters? or hex? or what? A real example could probably help

Hello soxrok2212 and thanks for the reply. The password will be DVW123456????AA, and the "?" could be any of these:
0123456789ABCDEF
I'm very green but I just now learned a tiny bit about crunch, and the 65,536 line text that crunch makes DOES include my password. So from now on I'll have to make a .lst in crunch to use in hashcat, unless someone can tell me what I did wrong in the above example.
Here is what made a correct text file which contained my password:
crunch 15 15 0123456789ABCDEF -t DVW123456@@@@AA -o /root/DVW123456AA_all_possible_keys.lst

Well DUH...
Wrong:
oclHashcat32 -m 2500 -a 3 -1 ?dABCDEF DVW123456AA.hccap "DDW123456 ?1?1?1?1 AA"
Right:
oclHashcat32 -m 2500 -a 3 -1 ?dABCDEF DVW123456AA.hccap "DDW123456?1?1?1?1AA"
Good grief... lol
