Please clarify 802.11b/g compatibility

Will the 2B1 be able to interoperate with any 802.11b or 802.11g network or does the low power, extended range, and mesh features mean that it requires Marvell devices to interoperate?

Note that there is a security issue here since if it does interop seamlessly with standard wifi then people like pedophiles can communicate with the kids virtually undetected. I know some people would be happy if all the pedophiles ran off to 3rd world countries to indulge their habits but if OLPC can make this hard, then they should do so.
