[H]ardNews 6th Edition - From our Readers

Update on 802.11n:

One of our [H]ard Readers Chris sends us some further information on 802.11n. I though it would be fitting to post this on the front page. I think that at least every weekend I am going to feature one bit of news from one of our [H]ard Readers, almost like a mini-column. What do you think?

Regarding that post on Belkin and the 802.11n gear, you might want to check out this article from the Wi-Fi Alliance (from CNET):

Seems that they don't want a repeate of the 802.11g pre-release problems, and they're ready to spank any vendors who misbehave. Might want to mention the readers that the 802.11n spec isn't set to be ratified until 2006, and, some current parts may or may not make it to spec. So, any gear releaseed before then may or may not work with the future certified 802.11n gear.

Just an FYI before anyone spends any money on tech that may not be copatible down the road.

Thanks Chris,
