Subject: [OS2Wireless] Book recommendation: Jeff Duntemann's Drive-By Wi-Fi Guide

I'm in the middle of a the above book right now, which so far has been a 
wealth of information both about the history of the 802.11 standard and 
a practical guide about setting up small Wi-Fi networks. As a consultant 
out in the trenches, it's good to get some field reports about how 
others go about doing site surveys (for what they're worth!), 
bridging/roaming techniques, and even the usefulness (or lack thereof; 
still not convinced) of ad-hock mode. Also, it's amazing to read how far 
short the current 802.11 specs come infosar as covering ad-hock, 
bridging, roaming, etc. He also devotes four chapters to security, which 
I haven't reached as yet.

Anyway, a few links:

A couple other books which may be interesting to folks here (I purchased 
these, but haven't had a chance to read them yet), both from O'Reilly 
(http://www.oreilly.com/):
802.11 Wireless Networks, by Matthew S. Gast
802.11 Wireless Security, by Bruce Potter and Bob Fleck
