802.11g Wireless connection

Hi,

How does 802.11g wireless compare with a wired connection for a home
network? Is it about the same speed? I am contemplating getting an
802.11g to plug into my cable gateway/router so that I can connect a
computer with a built in wire capability (it is a feature of the
motherboard - an Asus A8V).

thanks,
Shane

mix it up,some 100mbs ethernet, some wifi, BUT, use WEP, on all wifi nets!

NO wifi is as fast as an ethernet, in total data packets sent/received,
error free!

And, add the wifi vulnerability to war driver leeches! I run dual
firewalls, on my net, with one dedicated to the wifi, that is WEP, and
password protected.
