I'd rather see 802.11a myself. I know the industry talking heads are
praising 802.11g for its "backwards compatability", but I think the dual
11a/11b AP's are "backwards compatible" enough to warrant MOVING to a new
uncluttered spectrum that is (IIRC) reserved for wireless networks.

That said, I have not seen any indications of progress on 11a or 11g
drivers :/

Not like I have ever needed more than 11 mbit to my laptop...
