I have an Intel card in one laptop and a Broadcom in the other. Both prefer 11a over 11g. We run the all of our SSIDs on both 11a and 11b/g. You can change the wireless mode in the adapter settings. The adapter settings for wireless mode on both my cards are default. Here are the settings off my Intel. I'm associated to channel 161 on 11a right now. (Default) - Connect to either 802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. 802.11a only: Connect to 802.11a networks only. 802.11b only: Connect to 802.11b networks only. 802.11g only: Connect to 802.11g networks only. 802.11a and 802.11g only: Connect to 802.11a and 802.11g networks only. 802.11b and 802.11g only: Connect to 802.11b and 802.11g networks only.

Our laptops choose the a network over b-g every time (same ssid on a Cisco LWAPP deployment). All laptops are Dell Latitude models.

Has anyone doing the same run into problems or special consideration that must be minded when running 'a' and 'b/g' side-by-side? On one school's wireless site I found mention of a problem where workstations with 'a/b/g' cards will always select the 'b/g' network over the 'a' network if both use the same SSID. The way they overcame it was by giving the 'a' network a new SSID. Has anyone else had this problem or found a different way to overcome it?
