Anyone know if existing 2.0 compliant cable modems can be updated to support
3.0 (presumably via firmware), or will I have to get a new cable modem once
3.0 is rolled out in my area?

I have a Linksys BEFCMU10 cable modem and it's served me well for the past 5
years, but I haven't seen anything from Linksys (geared for home use,
anyway) that's DOCSIS 3.0 compliant.
