And, maybe, the spread spectrum technology comparing to fixed frequency in
802.11b, so a lot more sensible to pertutbations.

802.11 works in my house and that is typical block and brick
construction. In fact the house that we surveyed Mark was built in
1934,
and ALL the internal walls are brick rather than stud, and the network
works across 3 floors and 30 metres with only the odd blackspot.
