I don't think that Cisco has signalled the end of it. I think that it was, and still is, going away at a moderate rate. More and more products are 802.11g, less laptops are shipping with built-in 802.11b. Lucent, then rebranded Orinoco, now owned by Proxim, were one of the first infrastructure companies in the 802.11 industry. They already have 802.11g hardware out. Places such as Carnegie Mellon University in the US have had Lucent hardware installed since 1994 - back when it was 900MHz. Cisco may be a big networking provider, but they're not the only game when it comes to corporate networking, and they're a relative newcomer in 802.11. Lucent built enterprise-grade access points before Cisco did any wireless stuff.
