Oh good point, I forgot about those video sender thingies. 802.11b will
survive interference without much loss of throughput from microwaves and
'noddy' transmission schemes like cheapo video senders, because it uses
frequency hopping, and jumps all over the band to avoid interference.
Bluetooth also uses frequency hopping, except it hops much more quickly,
giving poor old 802.11b a hard time.
