[MLB-WIRELESS] 802.11 and 802.11b

[Agatha]

not if you wanna push a shiteload of data quickly across the wlan....the cost is not such an issue for this little soldier, whereas my need to burn bandwidth is all consuming....lol

But seriously, 11Mbit is good enough, but as I said, Isa networking nerd and I'd like the biggest fattest connection without having to use a third party carrier....I also play with video/audio/art-wank and have a few projects that the lower speeds would not allow me to do.  no, not pr0n...lol

  Well, considering 11Mbit cards are in the $300 region here now, I'd say the 
  52Mbit cards will cost you both your grandmothers and a kidney.  Give it 
  some time.  11Mbit is hell fast enough for intra LAN connections.  Even 
  2Mbit is!
