Looking for a few good Bloggers

So I’m looking for a few good bloggers to post on SmallNetBuilder. You can write on any or all of the topic areas that you see on the nav bar above. Ideally, you’ve been blogging for awhile and have a small, but dedicated audience and are looking for wider exposure.

The focus is on informing and learning, so posts should tend toward mini-reviews, tutorials, "lessons learned" from problems you’ve solved. Opinion pieces are ok once in awhile, but that’s not what I want the focus of the blogs to be. And yes, this is paid work, although you won’t get rich from it!

So if you’re interested, just send me a link to your blog and we’ll see if we have a match.

P.S.: I recently asked for feedback on Vendor contributed content and found that most readers who commented were willing to give it a try…provided I kept the quality high. So I’m going to give that a shot, so look for the first piece soon.

11n Draft 2.0 gear not working yet, but does anyone really care?

I share Glenn Fleishman's disappointment with this week's announcement by the Wi-Fi Alliance that they have only begun their certification testing. But judging from what I've seen so far, getting draft 11n gear up to spec is going to be a long, difficult process.

I spent a few days last week testing a D-Link DIR-655 router and DWA-652 Cardbus card, which are based on Atheros XSPAN silicon. These are the first products to have firmware and drivers posted that allegedly implement 11n Draft 2.0 compliance. My primary focus was to see whether the legacy protection mechanisms added in 802.11n Draft 2.0 were working in actual product.

Intel does the Right Thing

Tuesday's entry by Intel into the draft 11n market was a bit of a surprise, given its history with being late to the party with previous wireless LAN product generations. But the 11n train left the station awhile ago and Intel, like any other company wanting to stay in the WLAN game, had to get on board, draft status or not.

But aside from lending legitamacy to a technology that has so far been most notable for further decreasing the chance of an average consumer having a successful wireless networking experience, and for getting reviewers' and pundits' shorts in a knot (myself included), Intel did something else. Something that, in my opinion, they didn't play up enough in their announcement material or webcast / conference call, and that deserves special mention.
