the420star,

Can you provide a more accurate description of what exactly you need to know. There's no such thing as a standard packet size when talking about 802.11 networks. Packets is the term used to refer to IP and is associated with the Network Layer. IP packets can be of varying size (the maximum "normal" size being 1512) - check out http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/38.shtml

802.11 standards refer to the Data Layer. Information in this layer is sent in frames.

Check out the two following white papers. They may be of some help.

Wireless Local Area Networks and the 802.11 Standards - http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/784...whitepaper.pdf
