>From the perspective of RF attenuation (and signals not going through
air walls in hotels), 802.11a is actually a better technology.  The
spectrum used is at a higher frequency, and the standard includes more
channels which can be used to deploy a WLAN in tight quarters (like an
IETF meeting).

If making noise would help, I think petitioning Apple to include 802.11a
in their machines would be more effective in the market than asking
IEEE802 to develop yet another WLAN standard (imho).  However, I agree
with your observation that using 802.11a may not be a choice for a lot
of people in Dallas, at IETF 65.

Hi David,

Don't want to start a new useless thread here, my point was basically to
show that b/g has a wider adoption and 75% of the laptops don't have
built-in a, so it makes sense to make additional effort to get it
working.

I also learn from a previous email the reasons why b/g are not so good
in our meeting, and may be thru our liaison with IEEE we need to make
some noise over there, so the market use a better technology.

I also got some folks confirming that a cards where available also in
previous meetings, but probably that was not properly advertised, may be
?

Regards,
Jordi
