I would not advise many people at this time to go 802.11a, since 802.11g is right
around the corner. While 802.11a is faster, with "more frequencies", 802.11b
is the established standard, and 802.11g will be backwards compatible with it.
There are "second generation" 802.11b cards that give 22 Mbits/sec and are
compatible with 802.11b systems that exist right now.
