There's nothing wrong with my "interpretation". The Apple manual
*clearly* says that in 802.11b/g mode, each client computer will
transmit at its highest speed. "Highest speed" clearly means the
maximum transmission speed of which the computer is capable. Reading it
any other way requires a great deal of equivocation. What I don't
understand is why you would wish to equivocate. If Apple is wrong or
trying to mislead Airport users, then you should say so instead of
trying to blame it on my "interpretation".

Yes, it will transmit at its highest speed, but for how long and under
what conditions? You seem to think that any radio can transmit at any
time...

That is a ridiculous strawman. I said no such thing and I'll thank you
not to put words in my mouth in an effort to bolster your previous
position. I merely quoted Apple regarding the transmission speed of the
computers on a 802.11b/g network. Like I said, your argument is with
them, not me.

......and achieve full data throughput without regard for any other
clients on the same network. In reality, substantial negotiation occurs
to insure that transmissions from multiple clients do not collide and
that a given client does not "hog" the available bandwidth. The net
result is that individual packets are transmitted at the "highest speed"
but overall net throughput is substantially less.

I don't think Apple is wrong or being deliberately misleading....

So then you agree that the statement in the Apple manual that I have
been quoting--- the one you snipped--- is correct?:

"Choosing the Network Mode Choose 802.11b/g Compatible from the Mode
pop-up menu if computers with 802.11g or 802.11b wireless cards or will
join the network. Each client computer will transmit at its highest
speed."

...., nor do I think they intended to offer a complete description of
the 802.11 communication protocols in their discussion of how to set
up an AirPort wireless network.

As to your interpretation, I think it's incredibly naive to think that
any useful data transmission scheme can sustain a data rate equal to the
raw bandwidth of the channel.

Once again, I interpreted nothing. I merely quoted Apple's own manual
which you have very blatantly avoided. You keep wanting to put words in
my mouth but I have made no other claims. I don't understand why you're
trying to make me a bad guy here unless you have some kind of hidden
agenda.

Whether you agree or not, the facts have been presented and the readers
can judge for themselves how the mixing of 802.11 a/g traffic on a
network will affect the overall capacity of the network.

I'm finished with this discussion.

That's fine since you obviously can't respond to my questions.
