You can probably find that info at http://personaltelco.net  although I'm
not sure you will be able to take advantage of the Prism2 chipset AP fuctions
avialable using 80211b.

I think 802.11a should be able to support more than twice as many
users than 802.11b.  At least in the US, the band reserved for 802.11a
has more channels available than the one for 802.11b, in particular
more non-overlapping channels.  For this reason, and because of the
lack of competition from 802.11b users, 802.11a should also support
more users than 802.11g (54 Mb/s in the 2.4 GHz band).  So for
settings such as IETF/NANOG etc. this seems very attractive.

If someone knows which 802.11a PCMCIA card can be made to work reliably
under Linux (with 2.6 kernel!), I'd really like to hear about it...
