Luis is right,
I have here 2 sitecom cards, one pci the other pcmcia both 11G so 54Mb.
GF has a Acer laptop with build in wifi 11b. they all communicate fine
on 11Mb as this is the max 11B supports, also the encryption can only be
64bit as this is the max for 11b cards.

<pre wrap="">Hmm, I tried that, but that wasn't enough.
There's a number of other things that could wrong; the AP is not
broadcasting; it's not in a 802.11b-compat mode. But I have no idea how
to check and/or fix this. So I was hoping for some more info ...

This should be enough. 802.11G is backward compatible with 802.11B. This
means your 802.11B should be able to connect to your 802.11G AP.
