Except that this article seems to completely skip 802.11n, and while it mentions 802.11a in the Performance and Speed section, states in a more prominent section "Wi-Fi uses spectrum near 2.4 GHz, which is standardized and unlicensed by international agreement, although the exact frequency allocations vary slightly in different parts of the world, as does maximum permitted power." It otherwise ignores te 5GHz band.
Time for an update...

The new wiki is
Except that the corresponding text on the new page linked there ("Main article", ) appears to be identical. Searching for "11n" returns no hits, but plenty with "11g", "11b", and "11a".
Also, all the equipment listed appears to be 802.11b, g, and/or a only.

Sure. I created the first site, and when I later decided to host it myself, I copied over the current content, and while there are still lots of similarities, all new content since that time, of which there is a fair amount, is only on the new site.
802.11n is still in draft, not expected to be approved until November 2009, so no conforming products are yet on the market.All that said, these are wikis, and you are welcome to roll up your sleeves and contribute. ;)
