Ok, then what do you have to offer when Intel transitions to 802.11g in a few months?

A few months? Not likely.

Apparently you didn't read this story http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/Article2.asp?datePublish=2003/11/18&pages=A6&seq=29 which says that Intel just ordered Taiwanese 802.11g chips to use in Centrino laptops. D-Link and Gem-Tek said "volume shipments [are] slated for the first quarter of next year."

I wouldn't hold my breath. Apparently D-Link doesn't have any chip production anymore and has to outsource the chips.

So, let's see. Global Sun builds the chips for D-Link. D-Link sells the chips to Intel. Intel packages the chips with its own chipset and tells DELL to disable the wireless function they paid for in the chipset. DELL buys it anyway and does as they say. That sounds efficient.

Intel's own 802.11a/g solution won't be ready until H2 2004, it says.
