Err, I recall 802.11g having two component:
CCK over 2.4ghz
OFDM over 2.4ghz

Given 802.11b is CCK over 2.4ghz, I believ that 802.11g is backwards
compatible by default.  And since 802.11a uses OFDM over 5ghz, all they
did was take a 802.11a/b chip, add a few circuitry to have OFDM use both
2.4 and 5ghz, and call it a 802.11a/b/g chip.

Am I missing something?

(Oh yeah, are they also going to implemnt CCK/PBCC over 2.4ghz "802.11b+")
