They do not fix the spec, that would reduce the confusion of the developers that might try to implement something from it. A spec is put out by Microsoft to maximize confusion and to be able to claim to work with Internet standards.
I have been using a Breezecom access point with the PCMCIA card the Breezecom folks did OEM from Raytheon. This works quite fine, thanks to the fine driver from Corey Thomas. For their own PCMCIA card a Linux driver is in testing and supposed to show up on their web site in a few days.
It is a bit on the pricey side, but is very convenient.
