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. Among the wide range of topics covered are
discussions on:
deployment considerations
network monitoring and performance tuning
wireless security issues

With wireless technology, the advantages to its users are
indeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal with the
hassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households with
several computers can avoid fights over who's online. And
now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide,
2nd Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your
current infrastructure with the utmost confidence.
