I doubt that XR or Turbo will ever be part of IEEE 802.11g/b. They are "non-compatibility mode(s)".
That said, I see little harm in either, and yes, Atheros has better rx sensitivity than a lot of other chipsets, even in the standards-compliant IEEE mode(s).

My understanding is that Atheros new chips simply have exceptionally good receive sensitivity. I fail to see how this is "tweaking" the standard.
Is this just FUD from Intel? Or do the new chips have a non-compatibility mode like the various speed-doubling tweaks from them and other manufacturers?
