We have found just the opposite to be true. 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?
