Berkeley Varitronics Systems today announced its latest Yellowjacket B/A/N/G 802.11b/a/n/g Wi-Fi analyzer.
The B/A/N/G is a Yellowjacket 802.11 "BAG" Wi-Fi analyzer with upgrades for draft 802.11n and signal-to-noise ratio measurements. OlderYellowjacket models can be upgraded free of charge.
The Yellowjacket-B/A/N/G is available now. Pricing was not announced.
Dell has released a 52 MB patch for its affected drivers: The company lists a wide array of adapters including Dell Wireless 1350, 1370, 1390, 1450, and 1500, and the TrueMobile 1300 and 1400 series of mini-PCI and PC Cards. That's one huge download to replace what's apparently not a ton of code. But it must include all the associated software that runs the system, too, as well as every patch for every device.
