our phone is 5.8 Ghz .. and I'm wondering if there's any chance of  
interference with a 5Ghz AE network?

anyway, I'm running at 2.4 for now ..  so far, so good

btw:  just want to remind everyone that the Iogear USB hub seems to  
have done the trick regarding sharing the LaCie off the AE/n.  No  
drop offs.  Even after restarting the network many times during  
configuration, the drive shows up just fine.  So it definitely was  
the Belkin 4-port USB hub (at least the particular unit I happened to  
have bought from the local Apple Store.
