Actually, no. 802.11a is inherently better for this sort of
environment than 802.11b or 802.11g. Instead of having 3
non-overlapping channels, it has 8. Also, being at 5G it doesn't
propagate as far as the 2.4G, which for us would be a real win since it
would reduce interference even further. Oh, and you get 54M to share
rather than 11M to boot :-)
I strongly encourage people to consider bringing 802.11a cards to
future meetings! (Note: Of course, now that I've said that, the future
hosts will decide against deploying it)
