Meanwhile the IEEE 802.11n committee has approved the latest version
of 802.11n dubbed draft version 1.10, it will be known as version 2.0
when it is released to the full IEEE 802.11n committee by the end of
the month.

....

Products conforming to version 1.10, it is claimed, will be
compatible with pre-802.11n products already on the market. McFarland
was quoted saying that only a minor firmware upgrade would be
required to ensure complete compatibility.

However while the functional specification might be finalised full
approval will take some time and is not expected before early 2008.
