N supports both the a band and the b/g band, doesn't it? Printing the bands
as frequencies won't necessarily be more helpful to the beginner.

Hi Kevin - well kinda but not really ..
Well N supports wide bands - which for sure b/g do not. Don't know
about a as it has been effectively largely deprecated - if you go to
configure an N/b/g Access Point - one chooses bands as either Narrow (20
Mhz for b/g) or wide (40) for N only. So the choices seem odd to me -
perhaps experts can opine ...
It would be helpful if you could explain exactly what this choice does
to NM - what effect does it have on the connection?
