[By the way, what are the concerns, if any, of wireless LAN base stations operating in the proximity of people wearing pacemakers? Just thought I'd ask.. ]

I am going to guess (and I do mean guess), that the wattage makes a difference in this case. A microwave will likely be between 600 and 1200 Watts (again, quick web search) and the base stations are going to be about 300 milliwatts (I may have to check on that).

EDIT: As a guideline, Cisco's Aironet 340 Access Point is spec'd with a transmit power of 100 mW.
