802.11a is another matter. This uses a different frequency altogether, in the 5GHz band, and as such utilizes a completely separate radio.

So, it's even more inconsistent than I feared!  How
often will I be likely to run into each of these
standards?  If 802.11a is quite rare I may ignore it.

These days, 802.11a is surely not very popular.

Public hotspots are likely to be running 802.11b and 802.11g for the foreseeable future, at leats until the 802.11n spec is ratified and that equipment becomes more affordable (and 802.11n will be backwardly compatible with b & g). So, while all this alphabet soup sounds confusing, it isn't in reality. just go with the radio in the notebook and you should be fine for 99.9% of your use.
Thank you again!

No problem. That's why we're here!
