Ah, shoot. You are correct. Thanks for clearing up my confusion! -----Original Message----- From: -ray To: '[email protected] ' Sent: 8/11/03 2:22 PM Subject: RE: [brlug-general] wifi + college campus = playground for hax0rs was RE: [b...
11g is backwards compatible with 11b, but NOT 11a. 11a runs in the 5ghz range, 11b and 11g are in 2.4ghz. So 11b and 11a use different radios... there are cards that do both but they are pretty expensive. Find out if the AP's you'll be connecting to are 11g, or if they have plans to goto 11g in the next year or so. If not, i'd just get the 11b card to save some $$$... Looks like the Orinoco 11b/g silver combo card is about $20-$30 more than just the 11b card. ray On Mon, 11 Aug 2003, John Hebert wrote: > 802.11g if you got the $$$, so you can do both 802.11b (11Mbps) and 802.11a > (~54Mbps). > > John Hebert > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Sent: 8/11/03 1:37 PM > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] wifi + college campus = playground for hax0rs > was RE: [b... > > Thanks for the suggestions, > > I have one more question, should I get a 802.11 b or g card? > > Thanks, > > Steven P. > <<Re: [brlug-general] wifi + college campus = playground for hax0rs was > RE: [brlug-gene ral] Wireless adapter question (for college)>> > <<ATT00287.txt>> > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net > -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
