Lucent's WaveLAN card have always been based on the 802.11 standard. The
first versions of these cards supported just 2 Mbs while later 802.11b
versions supported 11 Mbs. As a matter of fact, Apple's AirPort cards
were developed by Lucent and are based on WaveLAN technology.
Interoperability between older 2 Mbs (by Lucent, Farallon, or others) and
newer 11 Mbs cards is no problem at all; 11 Mbs cards will fall back to 2
Mbs anyway if the signal strength is too low to support 11 Mbs.
