1 IntroductionThis document will explore the magical world of Wireless LANs and Linux.Wireless LAN is not a very widespread and well known technology, even in theLinux world, so we will try to gather here most of the available information.Despite the fact that it is very similar to common networking technologies, it issignificantly different to justify this specific document covering the subject.1.1 What is a Wireless LAN ?It’s a networking technology allowing the connection of computers withoutany wires and cables (apart from the mains), mostly using radio technology (andsometime infrared). It’s called LAN (Local Area Network) because the rangetargeted is small (within an office, a building, a store, a small campus, a house...).This technology is slowly growing (I should say maturing), and despite a generallack of interest, Linux is able to take advantage of some of the wireless networksavailable.
