USRP2 capabilities query

Hi,

We are evaluating SDR platforms for conducting wireless physical layer
experiments. It would be great if some one could help with the following
information.

  1. I know that a modified version of 802.11 has been implemented and
    tested successfully on USRP1. Has it been tested on USRP2 ? Are the
    latencies in USRP2 significantly better than USRP1 to make 802.11
    feasible?

  2. Is standalone mode of USRP2 operation supported officially? Would
    USRP2 working stand-alone provide lesser latencies than a USRP2
    connected to a host computer?

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks,
