AFAIK the 802.11b standard is stable and well supported so it 
certainly should do. Unless anyone else knows differently? Always 
happy to be corrected with accurate info :-)

If you want something faster like '54g' then you'll need to look 
back through recent messages in the archives here and install by 
hand as it's not yet in the distros (AFAIK). But I find 'wi-fi' 
802.11b works very well around the house for everyday stuff like 
internet access, mp3 streaming and moderate file copying.
