I saw this today and found it interesting.

Evidently, Buffalo is being ordered to stop selling wireless products due to patent violations with the 802.11g protocol, originally developed by CSIRO.  They don’t specifically mention what Buffalo is doing differently than other companies like Netgear, Linksys, et. al.  I find it odd, as many of these routers are based on the same Broadcomm chipsets. 

I guess we’ll see what happens.  At the very least, they are talking about as much as $4 per unit to CSIRO.  I’m not sure what that means in terms of retail price change, but my Favorite Buffalo Router will no longer be the $40 bargain it usually is!
