The best defense is a good offense and that is exactly what Flickenger brings to the market with his book. Inside you will find pretty much everything you need to know about wireless networks including how to build a pringles cantenna. If you're a wireless network admin then this book should be sitting on your shelf. Can't go wrong with it!

This is a book you will never stop reading. An excellent ready reference and idea generator, not only for the geek, but something for everyone. Only reason I am marking it as "read" is because it has to be returned to my local library. The good news is that I found an ebook version of it on EBSCO which my library provides as a service to its patrons. Now, I can have it at my fingertips whenever I need it!
