I see that Amazon has the Orinoco a/b/g card for $104; this is more 
expensive than other brands and models but I've had good experiences 
with Orinoco (/Agere/Proxim) cards, and (in a fit of short-sightedness) 
I have a 802.11a/b AP.

Does NetBSD (1.6.1 or -current) support the Orinoco a/b/g card?  Can 
the wi driver use the 5GHz band?  Can it use the 802.11g bandwidth?  Or 
will the card just be an expensive 802.11b card under NetBSD?

Also, is there a better card to get?  Money is less of an issue than 
stability and functionality.
