thanks for mentioning this.  i think i read this somewhere a long
time ago but forgot completely about it.

i just verified it is true.  i have a laptop with a g card and a
linksys wet11 (b).  the g card transfers at around 660KB/s if the wet11
is turned on, but jumps to about 1710KB/s if the wet11 is unplugged.

i've ordered a linksys wet54gs5 so we'll see how that works when i'm
all 802.11g.

thanks again.
