We've received word that Apple plans to offer 802.11n enablers, which enable 802.11n capabilities on the following Macs:

  • iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
  • MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
  • MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
  • Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme card option

as a US $4.99 purchase. As previously reported, Apple will also offer the enablers bundled with the second-generation, 802.11n-capable AirPort Extreme Base station.

No further information has been made available regarding why Apple is charging for these enablers, when the enablers will be made available, nor whether or not this policy will change.
