Network World has put together an excellent, exhaustive article on the ins and outs of deploying a wireless network, entitled Cracking the wireless security code:
Is it possible to deploy a secure wireless LAN with technology available today? That question preys on the minds of IT executives who are tempted to deploy enterprise WLANs, but are hesitant because of security concerns.
So we assembled 23 wireless products from 17 vendors and ran them through a battery of tests aimed at getting the answer.
The focus is on enterprise networks, so it may be overkill if you’re just trying to keep the guy in the apartment below you from tapping into your Wi-Fi connection. I mean, you’re not about to set up a RADIUS server in your hall closet. But it’s still worth reading, thanks to an excellent glossary, clear explanations of all the wireless technologies out there, and detailed instructions on how to secure your wireless LAN.
Props to Wi-Fi Networking News for the pointer.
