Actually, and I have not had time to read the article and all the adds,
folks either need to buy a 'wifi detector' for 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11...
of get one that can play in all the wifi ball^h^h^h^hbandwiths. Nice
little toys for the most part, but, the device that can play all the wifi
realms are going to be the hot products to come. Anything less only
leaves on with a false sense of the warm fuzzuies about their AP access.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
