Motorola Wireless (now Extreme Networks) appreciation thread

I was a big fan of Motorola EWLAN portfolio (called WiNG at these days) and still own two AP's coming from Motorola days. It is really unfortunate that after endless cycle of acquisitions this product range has been fell so behind the competition marketing-wise. Motorola guys are really futuristic and has all vision and ability to execute from very early days of mobile-era (like, they are investing into mobile locationing in very early stages)

I have just checked my Extreme Portal account and realized that there is an firmware update with a major change of version number, from 5.9 to 7.1. Actually expecting to see the regular Flash interface will be discontinued, but it seems like they can not. What a technical debt :)

Just wanted to share my feelings and some info. Feel free to comment and share your experiences from Motorola days. Also if anybody has some info about where Extreme is heading, it would be great. I guess they have already ingested 4 Wireless brands into one.
