What is draft-n wireless and will it change?

Question

I have a C2D MBP with the newly activated wireless card draft-n. I hear that they might go ahead with the final draft of n and that somehow this would be different than what I currently have. Is this the case? Will I not have access to the n signal since I am using an 'older' version? What about the newly released AirPort Extreme?

Answer 1

In most cases it would still work... What will happen is once the final standard comes out the wireless cards manufacturer will release a new firmware version which you can download and basically reprogram your card to the new version.
