Your last sentence nailed it on the head. I want to be able to do scans for illegal access points at work. Corprate Security requires us to scan for A/B/G. But that's just for the company I work for I'm sure. (sarcasim) I'm willing to bet that the other Two major car companies don't use A at all (/sarcasim) although some of the smaller ones like BMW does.

Personally I think it's a great war walking tool, and since I can state a business case for it, I hope it's included. I'm not expecting 802.11n for a few years (the vendors are trying to rush it to make more money) it just seems like the IEEE wants all the wrinkles out.
