this is not wrong, but nearly all adapters support wireless
to the
very old 801.11b for compatibility. so if an adapter support
5ghz,
he will in 99% also support 802.11a but if he supports
802.11n 5ghz
is not mandatory
Ah, so it *might* support 5GHz... :-( Thanks.
you can also post which chipset your notebook uses, but most
devices
only support 2,4ghz
Oops, I forgot; "lsusb" plays its cards close to its chest,
but I
found this in "dmesg": Atheros AR9565 Rev:1. After some
searching, I
see that it doesn't do 5GHz...
Will trade Acer Aspire E-15 for a Debian-compatible laptop if
it does
802.11a :-)
