Question for the wireless group... I understand the consequences of disabling 
802.11b from the perspective that older wireless equipment will no longer work 
with the wireless network.

However, does disabling 802.11b do anything to improve overall wireless 
performance?  Can access points that don't need to worry about "B" traffic 
handle more users?  Does overall throughput increase?

We haven't taken this step yet, but it's been talked about.  I'd love to get 
some definitive information on any potential benefits from doing so, or hear 
about some other ideas on how to improve wireless performance.
