We're using 802.11b in our office and we love it. We use the Apple AirPort
base station, which is made by Lucent but sells for only $299. It supports
up to 10 users but you need a Macintosh to configure it (or a freeware Java
app). As far as NICs, we're using Lucent PCMCIA cards. We're getting true
11Mbps at distances of roughly 30-50 meters.
The Lucent & Aironet basestations are considerably more expensive, but offer
more features and functionality. The airport offers pretty good access
control as well. I plan on buying an Airport for the house in a few weeks.
