Actually, the WECA group is saying that the May 16, 2002, FCC order (just a few days ago) that allows non-DSSS/FHSS modulations in the 2.4 GHz range includes OFDM, thus freeing the 802.11 Task Group G to finalize the spec with the compromise mandatory/optional modulations. I'm assuming PBCC gets swept into the big tent with this as well, as it's a conforming spec: non-DSSS but has similar characteristics that allow to qualify. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Fleishman, Unsolicited Pundit: read my work at http://glennf.com freelance journalist for Wired, New York Times, Seattle Weekly, et al Practical Mac columnist, Seattle Times http://seattletimes.com/ptech/ interested in wireless 802.11b networking? http://80211b.weblogger.com I live in Seattle, WA.
