difference b/w wifi a, b, and g

Hello,

I'm only familiar with wifi B and G. G runs at a higher mbit (i think
up to 54) while b is limited to 11 or so. however, does anyone know
what A is? is it faster than g? i've never even heard of wifi A until
i recently purchased a new dell laptop and one of the wireless options
was an a/g internal card.

For an IT Conslutant (spelling mistake...you decide), you really should know
that asking solely what the differences between 802.11a/b/g/whatever, is not
relevent in a Linux newsgroup.

Of course the usual approach for lusers and lusers in disguise (as computer
'experts') is to post first and use their brain cells.....never. Thirty
seconds of using Google would of told you this information; however instead
you opted for the option for everyone in this group to ignore you for a day
(a quick response would of probably been 30 mins if not a few hours) for
asking such an inapproiate question and then for me to (after a day of
grilling helldesk work) to respond to your helplessness/cluelessness.

Anyway, time to go to bed knowingly that the standard of the IT Conslutant is
still yet to be risen....and probably never will...ho hum.

<mumble>...just like bloody web-monkeys...boy I hate those web-mo...</mumble>

hahaha touché my dear man. however, i believe you have drastically
underestimated the extent of my self-induced laziness and you have
also reconfirmed my contention that the majority of linux users
believe they are superior to everyone else. have a good day and please
don't take a moment of your precious time to read or even reply to
this.

A truly effective lazy bum would pick up the phone and call the
nearest consumer electronics retailer with such a question. Much
easier than typing out a completely-off-topic question in Usenet, and
it's also rewarded with much quicker satisfaction.

Your lazy skills could use some honing.

Yes, you surely do not want to have anything to do with those no-good
snobs. They're all alike.

802.11a runs on frequencies around 5 GHz, vs 2.4 GHz for b & g. I believe
it's somewhat faster than g.

Like You and me... - Good one.

I'm going to get some amnesia to be allowed to talk to common folks
again. - How sophisticated.


Enjoying my good day full of precious time, Jack.

superiority has nothing to do with it (check the mac lusers newsgroups for
that taste of 'love'), its net-etiqutte which is what I speak of.

/me ponders the stories of conslutants ('experts') he deals with at $ork.
