I use a G USB dongle and also a B Orinocco card.. the B card is more sensitive and has ability for added antenna and the G dongle just picks up G spots not seen by the other card..
I use WinC to manage them both
thanks for the replies but you havent said weather it is worth getting the a/b/g (dual band) or the b/g will be good enough?
i think grepzen explained it above. there are very few 'a' hotspots out there so you will only really need b/g

is the information about "a" hot spots accurate for the UK?
