difference between 802.3b and 802.11b

I have a NetGear 802.11b wireless router but a laptop with a 802.3b card.
Will it work? I try to read the info but everything says I need
compatability accross the network. Is the 802.11b router backward
compatable, albeit a drop in speed, with the 802.3b card?

Hi
May be this can Help.
