[802.11n] Thanks, Peter. That's pretty much consistent with my thoughts on the matter. Today I came across another piece in EE Times that sheds some more light on some early adaptations of the proposed standard that is now in draft form, and it's not very pretty: --- Analyst: 802.11n gear falls short in testing According to independent tests performed by Craig Mathias of Fairpoint Group, the first round of IEEE Draft N-compliant wireless networking gear from Netgear and Buffalo Technology was disappointing in terms of performance and interoperability. The tests took place in a typical home environment and analyzed Buffalo's AirStation Nfiniti router and client, which makes use of Broadcom's Intensi-fi chipset and Netgear's RangeMax Next client and routers. "Draft N is misleading... we couldn't even get the equipment to talk to each other. That [lack of interoperability] was surprising," said Mathias, who couldn't get Netgear's equipment to communicate with Buffalo's. "We couldn't even get the two Netgear systems to talk."
