Slashdot has a pointer to a Computerworld article noting that the new supposedly final standard has a much lower throughput than the 54 megabits that current hardware runs. Here’s CowboyNeal:
It’s been moved from 54Mbps all the way down to 10-20Mbps, more than just a slight change.
It’s going to be a tough sell to get customers to update their 54g firmware if it is going to reduce their throughput that significantly.
