[dba-Tech] Unstable Wireless Netowrk

Ed:

Thanks for that link.  Looks like I've got some work.  Do you know how much
encryption slows down a wireless network?  Is it noticeable?

The article talks about interference with the 802.11b protocol by 2.4GHz
devices - microwaves, phones, etc.  Does the next rev up (802.11g?) have the
same problem?
