Here's the article with all the info http://www.80211-planet.com/news/print.php/1455421
This truly sounds like the UBER chip for wifi. I'm holding off on getting wifi until it's out. it "uses Extra Low Power (ELP) technology, the same they use in cell phones. In standby, the TNETW1100B uses less than 2 milliWatts(mW) at the chip level" also it does 22Mbps somehow

"This Wi-Fi speed boost, sometimes referred to as "802.11b+", has been adopted by companies like D-Link, SMC, and US Robotics for its home and SOHO WLAN products. The new chip also supports Complementary Code Keying (CCK) operation to boost speeds even when used with other 802.11b chip sets. It supports WEP encryption up to 256-bit."

and it could be out at any time! "The TNETW1100B is sampling with TI customers right now and should go into full production in the late fourth quarter of 2002."

Sounds nice, but why wait a year to go WiFi? The hardware is pretty affordable now -- you can get a CF card and Access Point for under $120! The difference between 22Mbps vs. 11Mbps is negligible unless you're constantly transferring multi-megabyte files to and fro. Besides, "G" is here -- 802.11G -- and the equipment is starting to show up in stores now. 54Mbps is the way to go. And by this time next year, we very well may have a WCF54G CF card from Linksys for $79
