We have a campus wide wireless project just starting that we are going to do 802.11n everywhere we can place a Cisco 1252. We couldn't get a guarantee from Cisco that there won't be a hardware change. Just that if the AP is under smartnet they will then do the upgrade for free. I have also heard the same thing from Xirrus with their AP arrays. If they are under maintenance then they will send you the 802.11n radios to swap out.

On list or off is OK- just trying to gather data for our own 11n research. Kind regards- Lee H.
