Ratification of a final standard for 802.11g is expected next month. Not normally a newsworthy event, but confusingly, late last year a lot of manufacturers decided to go ahead and build wireless cards and base stations using the draft standard of 802.11g, which has been causing some interoperability problems for people trying to use equipment from different manufacturers together. If you’ve already bought some 802.11g gear, you might have to update its firmware to be compatible with the newly ratified standard.
