Maybe so in Italy. But in USA, it is 802.11g that is useless. A cheap
connection is likely to be DSL or a Cable modem in the USA. Both these
connections are far slower than 803.11b, at least for most subscribers. So, for
all the connections I'm likely to see, 802.11b is exactly the same speed as
802.11g.

While I support the concept of the faster standard, 802.11g, the devices
running it always fall back to 802.11b, so I don't ever see any difference. So
for the present, I am quite happy with my 802.11b support.

I hope that we get to try GENMAC, once it is ready, in this group, along with
an XWLAN that gives us access to the newer features of the drivers.
