I saw this article too -- is anyone aware of something with more
technical details?  For example, where in the protocol stack does it
work?  Is it specific to 802.11 or general purpose ethernet?

Speaking as someone who has a primary hobby of the development of
super low cost time sync algorithms and software implementations with
the express application of audio over disparate clocks...  this
interests me.
