I believe the access points work transparently with existing 802.11 clients.
Unless it's just a ratification/standardisation of the multi-channel frufru
various manufacturers have (like 108Mbps wifi...but only if all clients are
the same manufacturer as the access point and all running on that other OS,
etc.).
I've got a few Cisco Aironet 1200's at work that have two antennas and
distribute the transmission/reception duties between them to achieve certain
configurable outcomes (maximise throughput/availability etc). However, I
don't believe that is what the MIMO stuff does.
Cheers,
James
