Apparently, Cisco President and CEO John Chambers spoke prematurely when he announced the loss of the Linksys brand. Media relations officer Karen Sohl clarified today in a statement:

What John was saying is that Cisco is moving to a single Cisco branding strategy.

Linksys consumer and SMB products will continue to be marketed under the Linksys brand and co-exist in the market with Cisco-branded connected home products over the near term.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get any more confusing than this.
