O'Reilly Released 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition

Using a wireless network can be a liberating experience. But underneath the experience lies a complex protocol, and even more complex issues arise when data isn't limited to traveling on wires. In his book, 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition (O'Reilly, US $44.95), Matthew Gast discusses the many issues facing those who are responsible for deploying and maintaining wireless networks: How do you structure your network so mobile users can move around effectively? How do you extend wireless coverage so it's available everywhere you need it? What kind of security issues do wireless networks raise? Gast answers these questions and many more. [Bill Fox]
