Well I did hear back from Areos wireless and they said they could not
offer support as they just were the manufacture of the chips and slod
them to people like Acer. They advised me to contact Acer. As stated
in my poost I did that first and got the BS back about there
Techinical support could not help me in this matter. So it appears I
am just going to have live with 802.11 G with this lap top,

Thank you all

Hi David,

What a copout !
I did find a mention with respect to "N" about a requirement for
multiple antenna, though nothing definite with respect to what the
requirement specified.

It seems that "N" at the moment is at the whim of the particular
manufacturer, at least until the standard is fully ratified.

Thanks for the feedback ! It confirms my conclusion that what is said
on the box cant always be trusted.
