Linksys was acquired by Cisco in March of this year (the announcement 
was released on March 20, 2003).  With the acquisition Cisco has added 
on capability in the low-end home/SOHO networking market (Cisco's 
products are primarily managed products with expensive price tags (over 
$1,000) whereas Linksys products are unmanaged systems with a much 
cheapter price tag (my Linksys router was $80 at the local Radio 
Shack)).  As part of the news release Cisco indicated that they may 
consider incorporating some of Cisco's own technology into the Linksys 
product line at some point in the future.
There's news of the announcement at
