Mike,
Sounds like a good book - I'm going to have to get it.
It's nice that author (Rob Flickenger) realizes that wireless is "magic".
I just can't help but wonder if Rob may have read that on page 51
of my book "Deploying License-Free Wireless WANs".
Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning about his 100 wireless hacks.
I expect that they will all be new and unique ones.
IMHO, O'Reilly books are good.
