802.11n Standard Finally Approved

The IEEE finally got around to approving the wireless LAN standard 802.11n. You can finally say goodbye to the "Draft-N" labels and marketing and look forward to the real thing. I wonder if I have to flash all my N stuff to meet the new standard.


Finalization of the new wireless networking standard--which is capable of delivering throughput speeds up to 300 megabits per second (and even higher)--took exactly seven years from the day it was conceived, or six years from the first draft version. The standard has been through a dozen or so draft versions.
 
So yeah, Draft 2.0's are compatible? Just need a firmware upgrade or something? What about adapters?
