Re: atheros ar5000
This model was first mentioned in the industry press back in 2001 and may no longer be in production. It is a 802.11a chipset. Are you sure you want this. An 802.11g card/dongle should be 11a compatible. I have been unable to locate any vendor for the ar5000.

Re: atheros ar5000
Actually, an 802.11g adapter isn't that likely to be 802.11a compatible, given that they run on different frequencies! 802.11n adapters frequently support 802.11a, since they have both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz capability.

Re: atheros ar5000
to johnwill - the intel wifi adapter that i have on my laptop is an abg capable adapter and many are like this but some are b/g only
It is an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG. I am also reasonably sure that most 802.11n adapters are b/g/n only. |

Re: atheros ar5000
To steveb1234: A vast majority of 802.11g wireless adapters are not 802.11a compatible, some that are intended for business use are. I have a number of 802.11b/g USB adapters here, none offer 802.11a capability. Here's a few that don't, for instance.

I could post more, but I think you get the idea. In truth, 802.11a is not that popular (I have no idea why, seems like a good idea), and most SOHO router products don't support it as well. If it's not supported by the router, it's somewhat pointless for manufacturer's to support it in the adapters. As for 802.11n adapters not supporting 802.11a... http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adap...Specifications
