Lemme think. 40bit WEP is the same as the wavelan bronze > card, iirc (or does the bronze card have no WEP). Bronze is 2 Mbps. Bronze Turbo is 11 Mbps. Silver is 11 Mbps w/40-bin WEP. Gold is 11 Mbps w/128-bit WEP. Since the product data on the bronze cards has been deleted from the web site, I am not positive that the Bronze Turbo card interoperates with other 802.11b 11 Mbps at 11 Mbps. I have a vague memory that it predated the 802.11b spec and was a bit problematic. Should work at 2 Mbps, though. There were older WaveLan cards that ran at 2Mbps with 40 and 128 bit encryption, but they pre-date the "metallic" names. (I have one.) R.
