There's no G equipment that'll work under linux yet, so you'll have to
either use cabling now, or use a B card.  Once the spec is approved I'm sure
the other manufacturers will start putting their (more documented) hardware
out, and support will follow.

(Urm, unless you get one of two of those 'wireless bridges' and have them
communicate with each other, and then just connect a NIC to each of
those--but someone else will have to comment as to whether or not that'll
work.)
