Engadget reports that Apple’s new Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros have a dormant 802.11n wireless card.
With iMacs now rocking draft-N from Broadcom and D-Link Rangebooster chipsets finding their way into the laptop line, speculation is running rampant that the upcoming iTV media extender will also feature the next-gen WiFi standard.
Since the current version of OS X doesn’t support the yet-to-be-ratified protocol, there’s not much that Mac owners can do at present with this newfound knowledge, though it is nice to know that your expensive new toy is probably future-proofed for that MIMO goodness.
MacRumors says the wireless card in the new MacBook Pros is a D-Link RangeBooster N 650 which does “N” (or something like it).
