54 Mbps/100 Mbps Wireless LAN

carbon60 writes: "Proxim seems to have very quietly released 802.11a based products. 54 Mbps in standard mode and 100 Mbps in "2X" mode. The main website lists the products." They're a little more expensive, and I dunno about Linux drivers, but still, that's some fast wireless action.

Why go "land-line" Cat 5 anymore?

[saridder]

There's no reason to be using "land-line" LAN's anymore, unless you have some sort of privacy/security issues, and even then you could just VPN the wireless traffic.

Oh, and cost. But hopefully someday the cost of wiring a building will push past the cost of a traditional LAN versus a wireless.

802.11b vs 802.11a

[sourcehunter]

I'd assume (just based on the name) that 802.11a came out BEFORE b, Why did 802.11a NOT catch on and 802.11b did?

Anyone?

In such a short time, we've gone from the days where 80m long radio waves were considered "shortwave" and anything over 100 Mhz was "unusable" to our new modern dreams of Multi Ghz signals and waves getting so short that we are tempted to measure them in millimeters.

"I was just wondering if you guys could give me an honest opinion. I have D cup breasts and wanted to know if you guys would like them a lot or if they need to be bigger or smaller? "

personally breasts that are too big are a bit garrish

Abuse of Moderation, obviously

I had the fourth (or so) comment under this story, and the first one about range. How is this redundant?

All of 20 feet is going to be real useful!
Also, the 2x mode is proprietary so you won't be able to mix with other vendors cards.
But it's a good start.

Then I see:

Anyone know about how much range it should be possible to get with a real antenna?

My math may be a little rusty, but 153816 > 243593 last time I checked. And, his comment was clever, yours wasn't.
Not to mention all that SHOUTING about karma and moderating proves your lack of netiquette.
