You disagree, Doug? Your cable connection runs at 5 Mbps or higher,
the effective throughput of 802.11b ? Or you know a way to squeeze
more than 5 Mbps of LAN-side throughput through a cable connection rated
at only about 2.5 Mbps ?
If you have -local- LAN accesses, then Yes, 54 Mbps *might* be better
for you -- but Martin² started with "If you just need Internet access",
which doesn't apply to the LAN-access case.

I think doug might have been noting that while its true that the speed of
your internet connection will be well below that of the wireless, if you
have a network ,then internet traffic is not all there is.
For example I stream audio round my house via a mostly wired 10/100
network, and although its nice to be able to listen to music in my garden
via a wireless enabled device, 11b only just cuts that mustard, and I get
quite a few dropouts.

First of all, I was not disagreeing. Was I a bit surprised? Yes.
Apparently, I learned something new today and I am grateful for it.
Thanks for the reply.
