  Just a reminder that if you have a 11g access point, *all* users of
  that access point (including any 11g bridges) will drop to near-11b
  speeds (~14Mb) if a single 11b client joins the network and associates
  with the 11g access point.

  In other words, if you have an old laptop with an 11b built-in, or
  something like that, it may not be worth the money-- or you'll want to
  pick a channel separation that allows you to run both an 11g and an 11b
  access in parallel and associate the clients with the best access
  point, depending on their hardware.

  Or, if you're luckily enough to have 11g everything, it doesn't matter.
