actually, the ABS 2 might have hardware in it that is 802.11g-capable, but isn't running 802.11g yet because the standard was just approved a couple of months ago.
in such case where the hardware is already compatible, all it takes is a firmware upgrade to make the transition from 802.11b to 802.11g:
