As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks.
Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable
at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible,
faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain.
The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the
wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11
network hardware available everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive
into wireless computing with less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's
wise to be familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And
802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start.
This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need to know about wireless technology.
Designed with the system administrator or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for
setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux.
