I'm in the market for a wireless networking PCMCIA card, now that I've 
gotten my laptop running.  I understand that 802.11g is supposed to 
handle 54mbps and 802.11b maxes out at 11mbps, but what do people really 
see for speed at public wireless hotspots?  Is it worth the extra money 
for an 802.11g card?  I'm going to buy a used one, to save even more 
money, but I could save a few bucks more on an 802.11b card.
