Yes, but it's a lowest common denominator thing - the slower 802.11b 
devices on the network will tend to drag the performance of the whole 
network down. From what I've read recently the whole 802.11g thing is 
a mess - the manufacturers have gone ahead and started shipping 
pre-802.11g products before the standard has been finalised so there 
are going to be all sorts of headaches down the road.
