AFAIK, I don't think so. When I worked with 802.11 (not 802.11b) the bit
rate was 4Mbps at maximum, and so the entire band was not used.

The link manager is in the software that runs over the MAC. And the
hardware isn't too complex. The only problem is the microwave circuit, and
of course the power consumption (bad for notebooks).

It would be a good idea to develop this MAC and its software as an
opencore.
