Read about this in Xboxgamer mag November Issue. The article says:-
Microsoft have been caught trying to sneek out an Xbox-specific wireless LAN broadband adaptor. In late August the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a submission by Microsoft for their MN-740 Wi-Fi adaptor. Although Microsoft had made no announcement, eagle-eyed inter**** surfers spotted the submission on the FCC's webpages.
The MN-740 is designed to let Xbox Live gamers play online without the use of lengthy ethernet cables, hence the term 'wireless'. Amazing. Plumbed-in consoles will also be able to System Link without cables. The package comes with dashboard updater CD, which solves the technical nightmare of having to diddle the console's settings to accept a Wi-Fi signal.
As yet there are no plans to release the device in the UK. A typically abrupt statement from Uncle Bill's PR henchmen reads simply: "We are not making (any) announcements regarding international product availability." At the time of going to press no US on-sale date had been specified for the MN-740 either, although amazon.com are already accepting pre-orders for $99.99
