    Why?

    Why is Apple even bothering updating this stuff? As I've read here in the forums on MacNN, Apple is so far behind PCs in both speed and price, no one uses them anymore.

    Judging from the idiocy of your post, I surprised that you actually can "...read here in the forums".

    This now supports third party wireless devices using the broadcom chipset.

    Older stations

    If I've got an older (graphite) station, I don't need this, right?

    if you want to use 802.11g on older machines, this is your ticket.
    You must use broadcom chipset device.
