AFAIK all (cost effective)wireless systems run at 10mbps max. Surely you would be better off using a 100 or Gig cable based system?

We are looking at moving our local LAN here and all our servers to a wireless network, currently all our servers are on a shared 10MB Cat5 network. We currently have 18 servers that we need to move to a wireless arrangement. What wireless products work the best with FreeBSD or Linux ? What scalability do these wireless products have ? Thanks, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
