[BAT] Any 802.11a interest?

I've noticed that the 5Ghz/54Mb '802.11a' cards are coming down in price,
many are not much more expensive than were 802.11b cards a year ago ($120+).

Under FreeBSD, some of the 802.11b drivers are said to work with vendor's
new 802.11a with little or no work. Has anybody tried these with dstumbler?

Thanks,
