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: Paraglyph Press: http://www.paraglyphpress.com/ Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1932111743/qid=1060620375/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-2393056-3520743?v=glance&s=books Half.com: http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=1139979807&meta_id=1 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.
