Good source for beginners...

This book is a nice introduction to wireless networking. The writing is easy to follow and gives general explanations for novice users to understand. However, if you're looking for help setting up your wireless security, this is definitely NOT the book to buy. It was published three years ago and wireless security has improved a lot (we really need an updated version of this book). The authors mention using WEP encryption, which is rarely used anymore since it takes only minutes to break. They barely touch on WPA, widely used because a different encryption key is used for every data packet. For help with setting up security, there's a lot of free information available online.
