| 481888 | 2006-09-01 11:27:00 | Are you using an Access Point? It should work OK as long as you haven't got the AP set to only allow G wireless cards to connect to it. I have this setup at home myself. An AP with 3 wireless notebooks, one of which is B only and they all work fine. |

| 481889 | 2006-09-01 21:55:00 | I'm pretty sure that if you add a 802.11b card into your network, the total network speeds is reduced to 802.11b speeds, not just access to the computer with the slower card (I'm not 100% sure on this though). | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 481890 | 2006-09-01 22:47:00 | I have seen in some access points a setting to handle both g and b or one or the other, so its the access points call what can connect to it. So I reckon it will work if you set it to B AND G and the G connections will still operate at up to 54MBS | dolby digital (5073) | ||
