Yes, that seems to be the case (i.e. Marvell). Though those who do only 2 spatial streams today say that 3 doesn't really help that much. Atheros published a nice analysis on comparing streams, radio-chains, and distance, and while going from 1 to 2 streams is not as great a benefit as 2 to 3 streams, there was a measurable benefit. http://www.atheros.com/pt/whitepapers/atheros_Benefits_Real_3x3_whitepaper.p df http://www.commsdesign.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=175800604

For hardware or software replacement? Rumors of hardware that can do (3) spatial streams is only now hitting the trade rags.
