  1. Wifi Access Point by Denis+Lemire · · Score: 5, Informative

    If I recall correctly, it was pointed out in the last article along this line that Intel was NOT removing WiFi from their laptop chipsets. The new chipset under developement were to have a built in access point. This is what was being removed. There was NEVER any intention to remove WiFi client support.

    no, nothing changed. The original interpretation of Wi-Fi having been "dropped" was a misinterpretation.

    The original decision was to remove *soft AP functionality* from the chipset. Not to drop Wi-Fi entirely. Go back and read what was said back then.
