Fall 2007?

Although it seems the attack would have to be a local attack I'm surprised that they are going to wait until fall of 2007. I'm sure the curious will be trying to exploit this for fun in public places where laptops are open and not connected to an AP.

I would think that is someone is using a Laptop and not using the WiFi radio, they would have it turned off anyway. Using WiFi on my Lappy results in an additional 25 to 40% drain on my battery depending upon what I'm doing. YMMV

This is a new flaw? Im sorry, but my company discovered and documented this flaw ... two and a half years ago. This is way old news and this security company is way behind the times.
