That's true for 802.11b, but a 10Mbps uplink is a limitation with 802.11g.
I still don't understand why the WavePoint II's came with a 10Mbps uplink. They have two pcmcia card slots that are designed to handle two separate ESSID's. That makes the wired uplink a possible bottleneck.
We just decommissioned our Lucent WavePoint II's after 3.5 years of near-perfect service. If it weren't for the 10 Mbps uplink limitation, we'd probably keep them around for a lot longer.
Our replacements are Proxim AP-600's, and so far they've proven to be less stable. One developed a short on its mainboard and melted down a few days after deployment, and a few others have spurious wireless card failures from time to time. Luckily, a reset from the web or telnet interface seems to bring them back online. If only we didn't need 802.1x and 802.11g:(

I suspect it is only the WavePoint IIe that has cardbus. The II's only have a Cirrus PD6729 PCI to PCMCIA bridge.
You're right about the CPU specs. Our WavePoint II's have AMD 486 DX2/66 CPUs.
