I read Craig's post wrong, but I'm still curious how all the technologies
compare in terms of Layer 3 data rates.  CSMA/CA and the inclusion of other
data link layer overhead such as a frame CRC imply that 11mb/s wireless !=
11mb/s wired (in terms of application data transferred).  Does anyone have a
comparison of layer 3 rates for 802.11a, 802.11b, Ethernet and Fast
Ethernet?

I'm particularly interested in whether 11a is more efficient or not.


Regards,
Donny
