Thanks to everyone who has sent in comments, bug reports and suggestions for the site. I’m slowly working my way through them and have fixed more than a few broken links. Most notably, the links in the Wireless FAQ are now working.

These FAQ articles are just a temporary measure, since I’m working on bringing back the old FAQ sections I had in the original SNB, which will make it easier for me to add and update the FAQ and for you to request new ones.

I also need to apologize for the site’s unresponsiveness and outages. Seems like the new publishing system requires more server horsepower than either my webhost or I planned on. So a server upgrade is being rushed through provisioning and I hope will be available sometime this week. Please bear with us in the meantime.

Keep those comments coming!

Waiting for Draft 2.0 updates

While the Wi-Fi Alliance's list of 802.11n Draft 2.0 certified products is growing longer, of course, there is still a catch.

Nor does it mean that you can download firmware and drivers to bring them into compliance, either.

Comments are back. New FAQ feature

Things seem to be running more smoothly (and quickly) with the recent link system changes. But, since I’m never one ...

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.
