Cisco Aironet 1231 802.11g

[salmans]

Hello all...I ordered a Cisco Aironet 1231 802.11g WAP and have received it. However when reading about it online I see that since it's 802.11g it's supposed to be backwards compatible with 802.11b because they're both in the 2.4Ghz range. Can I use 802.11b NIC's to access the WAP? I havent had much luck with setting this up. Has anyone worked with this before? Any and all information would be helpfull. Thanks!!!

We currently have 10 "G" and 3 "B" AP's deployed. With that we have a mixed number (over 125)of both G and B card working side and side. Laptop user will even roam from G AP to B AP and the connection will pick right up. As to the AP's configs nothing too fancy. Security is 128 bit key and MAC authen.
