Is Cisco's TKIP capability a firmware upgrade?

I've just spent the morning with Cisco at a WLAN security event.

Cisco likes to show WLAN security moving from dire to awesome:

1. 40+128bit WEP keys
2. Dynamic WEP keys
3. TKIP/SSN, Cisco supported and according to the 802.11i sub-committee, the
new moniker will be simply 'SSN'
4. AES which is aimed for 2003.  The upside being 256bit, the downside is
that the processing required is intense, so it will need to be baked into
the hardware which will no doubt further delay things.

Apparently Cisco called a group called 'At Stake" in to try and break their
TKIP/SSN and failed.

On a similar question, which clients (STAs) support TKIP?   I'm fairly
sure that Cisco cards do,
and current generation Lucent-based cards do not.

Anything else?
