A 22 Mbps implementation of 801.11b has been done by a number of
companies, but the data rate is not supported between vendors.  Thus a
D-Link 22 Mbps AP very likely won't do full-speed with a USR 22 Mbps
card.  They do, however, both support vanilla 802.11b if they're labeled
as complying with the "WiFi" standard.

I don't believe that 802.11g has been ratified by the full IEEE 802
committee yet, and since the 802.11 website is often suffering from
JavaWeirdness(tm) I wasn't able to check for certain.  However, no press
releases were found that stated full 801 ratification; had this happened
I would have expected companies like Texas Instruments to crow about it
on PR Wire.

Just saw an ad for 20Mbs  2.4 Ghz  802.11 cards and access points.

If I remember my alphabet, I think it's 802.11g, I could be wrong.

Just wondering what people think?  Comments.
