alphadogg writes “Is the advent of the 802.11n wireless standard the “end of Ethernet“…at least in terms of client access to the LAN? That’s the provocative title, and thesis, of a new report in which the author began looking into the question when he heard a growing number of clients asking whether it was time to discontinue wired LAN deployments for connecting clients. Would 11n, the next generation high-throughput Wi-Fi, make the RJ45 connector in the office wall as obsolete as gaslights”
