I know this from experience since I have an 802.11b router, an 802.11g AP, 802.11g card, and an 802.11b adapter. They have all worked just fine together (the problem is between 802.11b/g and 802.11a). Also, if you're going to be using directional antennas, you're not going to get very good reception if you're moving around with a laptop.

I know from experience that there are G devices that do not work on B only devices. My roomates HP laptop has built in G, but does not work with B access points. I've heard of other people having problems, but I've seen the problems Justin has had. He got a USB B and uses that.
