I am using 802.11a inside as of a few days ago, im wanting to keep as
little as
possible on the 2.4Ghz as I will be putting up a publicly accessable
wireless
accesspoint shortly, and having at least 2 point to point links on the roof
too.

Everyone I have spoken to with G (not many) has had problems with driver
stability. D-link make there airplus series, which with the right firmware
and
drivers has a 4 times mode that gives 44 megabit, this should be enough :)
