Hey, this is looking like a really good option. The only thing that's not clear to me is can you do b and g at the same time (eg, have a 54M g and 11M b client off the same AP) with a single card, or would you need to have two cards, one running in each mode? I get the impression if you run an AP in 802.11g mode then 802.11b clients "just work", but it doesn't say that explicitly. --=20 Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/heJ5Nh6mMG5yMTYRAoWzAJ9q9aJH63LFdGuIM5LbB9pV8ny55QCfW4B+ bDe9mANmdRhm0gZIVyoyFAo= =s09e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
