802.11 Wireless Networks The Definitive Guide By Matthew Gast ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: April 2005 ISBN: 0-596-10052-3 Pages:

As we all know by now, wireless networks offer manyadvantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on thatlist is mobility, since going wireless frees you from thetether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just thetip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are alsomore flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and moreaffordable to deploy and maintain. The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard knownas 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. Witheasy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhereyou turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive intowireless computing with less thought and planning thanthey'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiarwith both the capabilities and risks associated with the802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks:The Definitive Guide , 2nd Edition is the perfectplace to start. This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need toknow about wireless technology. Designed with the systemadministrator or serious home user in mind, it's ano-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows andLinux. Among the wide range of topics covered arediscussions on: deployment considerations network monitoring and performancetuning wireless security issues how to use and select accesspoints network monitoring essentials wireless card configuration security issues unique to wirelessnetworks With wireless technology, the advantages to its users areindeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal with thehassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households withseveral computers can avoid fights over who's online. Andnow, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The DefinitiveGuide , 2nd Edition, you can integrate wirelesstechnology into your current infrastructure with the utmostconfidence.
