Exactly I tried explaining how idiotic this point is to my network administrator he thinks that the 100mbit port on the cisco is a reasont hat everythings so much better and cisco is so godly. But when you explain that 802.11b is 11mbit half duplex and there is overhead on the wireless link and that u only technically can get 5mbit so shesh.

Wouldn't be much use in putting the extra little bit of
money into the full duplex chipset when the 802.11b
transport is half duplex anyway.
