Closed minded would be to say Wireless can NEVER be considered useful for
gaming. However I, myself, have played UT2003 between two wired PCs and my
laptop on WiFi (802.11b I think it was back then) and there were no noticable
lag.
Its very closed minded to say that you can ALWAYS notice 2ms of lag.
Notice, I never said EVERYONE would have a perfect wireless experience. But
it happens there is very little interference for me. I get full 54G across
the road in a friends house and so long as I keep the laptop in line of sight
(granted tricky as I tend to use it on my lap) it works brilliant. Granted I
wouldn't game across there as a large van driving between the buildings might
drop the connection - but for web browsing its fine and again the lag
difference is around 2ms vs wired.
