The complaints they seemed to air about the packet bursting are unfounded. Eventually, all the of the packet bursting technology will standardize under the WME (Wireless Multimedia Extensions) in 802.11e, or something similar to that. Several companies including Broadcom are offering packet bursting now, and it's not supposed to cause problems for devices that can't rewrite packets in that fashion themselves. It's just an enhancement for like devices at the moment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Fleishman, Unsolicited Pundit: read my work at http://glennf.com check out my new book, The Wireless Networking Starter Kit, a guide to Wi-Fi at home, office, and roaming : <http://wireless-starter-kit.com> freelance reporter for The New York Times, Macworld, InfoWorld, et al. read all the wireless networking news at <http://wi-fi.weblogger.com/> Macintosh columnist, The Seattle Times http://seattletimes.com/ptech/ -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
