The recent thread about base stations whetted my appetite for wireless. I've also been longing to break the built-in 10 Meg, half-duplex LAN limitation I've got so now sounds like a good time to buy once I get my facts straight.
Today I went to CompUSA to check out the Buffalo that was mentioned and want to verify a fact I was sold (I mean told). Assuming I get an 802.11g base station (Apple or otherwise), can I use one of the faster, "up to 54 Mbps" (ignoring the 108 Mbps flavor out there for the time being) non-Apple 802.11g PC cards with my 233 MHz Wallstreet II and if so, can I expect to see greater than 10 Mbps throughput (e.g., LAN file xfer) or do I have to live with the slower Apple-only "internal" card as the CompUSA sales rep indicated and just live with the 10 Meg 1/2 duplex limitation enjoying the wireless freedom but not a theoretical 5 fold one way speed increase? I'd hate to buy an 802.11g PC card and find it doesn't work or get one the works but have 1 Mbit throughput! Thanks. Steve Kerney -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
