With the advent of wireless networks and the going interest in faster and more secure networks the 802.11 standard is fast becoming one of the most talked and studied topics in networking today. With the release of this book you have a great first hand look at what you can expect and how it all works.

In just over 450 pages the author has detailed out the way wireless is meant to be setup and configured. The documentation is well researched and judging by the content the author has certainly shown his expertise.

Starting off the book is an overview into the world of 802.11, and for someone like me with limited knowledge this was a great way to be introduced to the material. The author goes into Frame breakdown, encryption, use with Windows and Linux, analyzing, tuning and PCMICA.

Overall there is information from setup to deployment and just about everything in between, including the administration of the 802.11 networks. This becomes a very handy reference manual to have around - excellent job!
