In perusing many of these cards specs, I see many of them offer a
'turbo mode' of 108 Mbps.
- Is this something magically supported by the hardware? By that,
I mean: if I use a compatible WiFi card in a laptop, they'll just
negotiate the higher rate, and as such the kernel driver has no
impact?
- I'm seeing 'turbo 802.11g' vs. 'Super G'. I haven't found any
thing that tells me if these are synonyms, or if they are
incompatable unofficial extansions of a spec. Does anyone here
know?
