No because super-g is an atheros proprietary feature. If you want ~100Mb/s 
you really need to wait for 802.11n standard equipment.

Between a host on the other side of a g-only ap and in intel 2915 I can do 
currently do ~22Mb/s of actual data throughput, switching over to A pushs 
that out to around 24Mb/s.
