[Novalug] 802.11b/g over coax?

[Brian Leeper]

Unfortunately, they stopped putting ISA slots on motherboards about 5 years
ago. Although I think I did once see a 10base2 PCI card.

In any case, working 802.11b/g equipment is easier to come by than working
10base2 equipment. I'm not sure 10base2 likes being run over RG6 cable
anyway. ARCNET doesn't mind it, but when I tried it with 10base2 years ago
the results were not good.
