I have been known to moan about 802.11x wireless networking before. I use it, I install it, I support it, but I really absolutely loathe, detest and despise the technology. It's a shambles which should not have been released until it was a great deal more polished than it is just yet.
So it's good to read some of the reasons why - and why the fix, if any, both won't be coming soon and will bring fresh grief of its own. (Which is, if you haven't spotted the connection, by, um, "Hank Maus".) I believe that he means 54Mbps when he writes of 22, but otherwise, it seems bang on to me.
