  One thing overlooked in all the summarizing so far is that the major
difference between 802.11[abg] and 802.11n is that the the former all exist.
The 802.11n is still in flux.  Indeed, I've seen several warning that the
stuff based on the draft 11n standards could well *not* be field-upgradeable
to the final standards.  That means anyone buying a "pre-N" product could
well be left high-and-dry when the standard does finalize.

  Caveat emptor.
