I remeber that there was talk of 802.11g being certified *after* the final release, but not during draft. Some 802.11g draft hardware was specified as compliant after the final spec was approved, though. Ah, just found the old press release that seems to confirm: <URL:http://www.wi-fi.org/news/pressrelease-022503-80211gcertification/en> So in that regard, we may do better with 802.11n draft 2 hardware. But it doesn't address what happens when draft 3 hardware arrives, or a vendor drops support for a product/goes out of business between the release of 802.11n draft xx and 802.11n's finalization. No thanks. It's called "Draft" for a reason. -- Jorj -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jorj Bauer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of Networking | 3330 Walnut St. School of Engineering and Applied Science | Levine Building, Room 160 University of Pennsylvania | Philadelphia, PA 19104 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
