Note:  Om has a nice write-up about the possibility of discontinuing the Linksys brand just as AT&T has absorbed Cingular into "The New AT&T".  I use this term loosely of course.  I think overall it would be better to have their product line under one name as long as the Cisco Quality goes along with the entire line.  I have purchased some Linksys networking gear lately and I have had hardware issues on simple pieces of gear that you would think would work right out of the box.

"Cisco Systems, apparently is facing a dilemma: whether to lose to the Linksys brand name or not? Cisco bought Linksys a couple of years ago for $500 million, and it has been a good addition to the portfolio, expanding Cisco’s reach into consumer, SOHO and small and medium sized business markets.
