Go to a coffee house or airport lounge, and one thing is immediately apparent: the world has gone mobile. Many of the
laptops in these places communicate with company LANs via Wi- Fi, the wireless standard known as 802.11b. Those who want to deploy their own wireless network- including network architects, system administrators, security professionals and home users - first need to understand the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols.
This 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start. It is a clear, no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux, including how to use and select access points, making deployment considerations, and seeing to 802.11 network monitoring and performance tuning. The book also includes extensive discussion of wireless security issues, network monitoring essentials, and wireless card configuration- everything a reader needs to run a network without wires.
