Broadcom Updates
What I couldn't say yesterday is that Broadcom had shipped its firmware upgrade so that all of the vendors using Broadcom chips, including Apple, Linksys, and others, were able to release firmware upgrades by today.
The new specification brings Wi-Fi certification to the 802.11b part of the implementation, and brings the 802.11g draft up to the very latest version in front of the IEEE task group.
Reports are coming from all over that the new AxBS firmware has solved a number of problems that were aggravating people, and I have already found it easier to connect to and reconfigure the AxBS after the hassles I documented a few days ago.

Any info about a firmware upgrade for the Airport Extreme client card?
I am experiencing serious interoperability problems, and it is not Wi-Fi certified. I cannot associate to a Cisco Aironet access point, and I am also having serious problems with a FreeBSD-based access point.
Is anyone else having such problems?
