Is this wireless card 802.11b?
http://i15.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/86/af/ca_1_b.JPG
The auction just says that it's 802.11. It doesn't mention if it's a or b. I know it's not very obvious, but I figued one of you guys would know!

Typically if someone just says 802.11, I assume it is 'b' since they were the first cards. The picture is too small for me to read any print on the backside.

I'd go with a more reputable card since 802.11b are fairly cheap now.
