If they applied for the patent in 2001, how can they possibly sue users of wifi? 802.11 has been around longer than that.

  It's possible that the patent(s) are only alleged to apply to 802.11g and/or 802.11n implementations. At least one of the patents appears to relate to MIMO, which would apply only to 802.11n.
