Such is the fate...
...of the early adopter. Apple with their AirPort Extreme, Linksys, etc. are in for a fun ride if what they say is true about .g products wreaking havoc with existing .b networks.

Apple addressed this issue with being able to firmware update their Airport Extreme products in case the Wifi alliance changes the protocols in the future. Just fyi. Personally I feel "G" will be the dominant platform since it's backwards compatible with "B", whereas "A" is more of a proprietary standard in its own way (802.11a is not compatible with 802.11b which is really idiotic in my opinion). For that reason I'm staying away from anything "A" due to compatibility reasons. Even though there might be some problems with initial "G" 802.11 products they will be rectified in the future. -- "All timid men who prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty" - Thomas Jefferson
