802.11g Slows Down

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the whoa-there-partner dept.

Moosifer writes "Computerworld reports that in order to step on fewer 802.11b toes, the IEEE has reduced the actual throughput of 802.11g in its latest (and allegedly final) draft. I think I might keep old firmware on my linksys AP and card so that I can at least pretend I have faster gear." It's been moved from 54Mbps all the way down to 10-20Mbps, more than just a slight change.

    Shouldn't your sig say:
    In Soviet Rush, you get high on today's Tom Sawyer.

    That would be in keeping with the wacky mixing-up of the other Soviet Russia jokes. As it is, you aren't mixing it up at all.
