802.11a is 5Ghz DSSS.  I'm unaware of any FHSS provisions in the 802.11a
spec.  802.11 (no bloody 'a', 'b', 'c' or 'd') provides for FHSS
(as well as DSSS (which is forward compatible with 802.11b) and diffuse-IR).
You should probably double check which standard it uses.

I quickly scanned the BreezeAccess-II data sheet off of their website
and can't find any mention of 802.11 compliance.

http://www.breezecom.com/Materials/PDFFiles/BreezeACCESS_II.pdf

However, it does indicate 3Mbps datarate which I don't recall being a
part of the original 802.11 FHSS spec.
