Wireless cards for desktop

Am using a belkin wireless G.
It gets 54Mbps and works fine but I saw a G+ at the store the other day and was wondering how much more speed I would see with a G+ in the real world as opposed to what it claims on the box.
And will Linux accept the g+ as readily as it did the G?
 
1. depends
2. depends


The G+ stuff is (imho) a gimmick, and you need a matching router/card to make it work. Posting what card the "G+" is might help, I THOUGHT the atheros drivers had the superg stuff, could be wrong.
 
yeah it was a belkin ,not sure of model #.
But if matching card/router is the gimmick it would not be worth buying a new router to me🙁
 
pretty sure your right on the atheros cards. i read a blurb earlier today atheros based cards supporting that mode...

how it achieves the 108mbps is by channel bonding. This may increase speed by a little, but I have noticed it decreases reception a good bit.
 
It is a matter of luck.

802.11g would produce 18-22Mb/sec.

A good matching 802.11g Super might get 28-36Mb/sec.
