Query: Very Practical

I've read two other WLAN books so far, and felt that they were were so technical that they glossed over the need for being practical. This book does a fine job of covering the basics, as well as specific applications. For instance, one section offers step-by-step details on how to configure an Apple AirPort -without- using a Mac. Another section discusses mapping out a network via GPS & topo maps. Other sections cover types of connectors, how to calculate range/distance, and more.My favorite section is the last couple of chapters which include a review of FCC rules as applicable to 802.11b, as well as tidbits on the various Community Network groups located throughout the US...with web links to boot.Definitely worth the $$, IMHO!
