Hey, this is looking like a really good option.  The only thing
that's not clear to me is can you do b and g at the same time (eg,
have a 54M g and 11M b client off the same AP) with a single card,
or would you need to have two cards, one running in each mode?

I get the impression if you run an AP in 802.11g mode then 802.11b
clients "just work", but it doesn't say that explicitly.
