The IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless local area networks (LANs) is the basis for a growing number of wireless networking products including network adapters and access points to wired networks. More and more of these products will be deployed as today's trend towards untethered computing accelerates and an increasing number of people will need to acquire a basic understanding of 802.11 wireless LANs. This tutorial is intended as a gentle introduction into the subject for the technically interested reader.
