802.11n Draft 2 on new MBP

[iWill]

Pretty self explanatory...so does the new macbook pro released today incorporate the second draft of 802.11n wifi?
Thanks

Interesting.....

will we see an upgrade to the older ones?

Hmmm........

Anyone?

No way to tell. The Apple website says "Uses A draft-N spec"

Also wonder what draft-N card is being used. Intel suposedly made one for Santa Rosa that had much lower power consumption.

23 more minutes on the migration assistant then I'll post a SC of the wireless profiler. What should I blur out in photoshop besides my MAC address?

If you have a Core 2 Duo machine and can post your AirPort Extreme card info from System Profiler I can tell you if mine is different

Mine's listed as "AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)"

Since you seem so well in the loop about the various drafts of 802.11n... can you please tell us what's the difference?

*silence*

I think there is no difference, they still interoperate with each other, that's for sure.

The difference is that draft 2 will be able to interoperate perfectly well with the definite version of the 802.11n norm. As the name indicates, the 802.11n Draft 1 wifi in the older MBP's (perhaps even the new ones? Can we know now with the info that has been posted on other threads?) is just a Draft and was originally not even supposed to end up on the market.


There is no difference between Draft version 1 and 2, the only thing is that the 802.11 draft 2 will avoid people to buy products which in a years time (normally) will be THEORETICALLY useless.
I'm sure though that Apple won't do this to their consumers.

P.S. Here's some info on this wifi norm:
