	Sam, which AP or Router were you using?  From what I understand,
the 108Mbps requires the card talk to both 54Mbps radios on the AP/Router
to get the 108Mbps as it gets 54Mbps from each one.  I don't think any AP
supports the 108Mbps mode yet as the only announcements I've seen are on
Atheros's website on Netgear and D-Link AP/Routers and it seems the
108Mbps support will be available as firmware upgrades as well as driver
updates sometime this month:
