James,
I've tested this theory with a B client and a G client on the same AP
and the B client works at B speeds and the G client works at G speeds.
We tested on both Cisco Aironet and Cisco LWAPP and both yielded the
same results. Someone out there may have had different results, but it
worked fine for us.

During time slices given to G clients, it's not necessary that the
*data* traffic
be understandable by the B client....

*Subject:* [WIRELESS-LAN] B user in a G cell
I always understood that 802.11G provides connection rates of 54
meg. but realistically has usable throughput of ~24meg. Also, if
a B radio associates to a G AP then the usable throughput drops to
~8 meg. I was advised today that, due to recent enhancements
(within the last year?), a B user in a G cell no longer lowers the
bandwidth <24meg. for all G users in the cell. It doesn't sound
right to me.....can anyone comment on these 'enhancements' (if
they do exist?)
..........thx.................J
