	Standards Based Wireless Networking with Linux
		By leveling the playing field and introducing multi-vendor installations, WLAN vendors will be forced to look at improving throughput and adding more management tools to their products in an effort to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
		A frame being sent from a wired node to a WLAN station is first received by the Portal, then sent to the appropriate AP, and the AP forwards the frame to the destination WLAN station.
		It is our sincere hope that WLAN product vendors will use this project as a template for their own products, thus developing the Open Source implementation into a standard defining those elements the IEEE chose not to define.

	White Paper: Architecting Your 802.1x-Based WLAN Deployment Using Odyssey and Steel-Belted Radius® (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		First, the ability of a WLAN user to connect to the network is dependent on the status of the link between the distributed networks and the central site or operating hub.
		Beyond being able to safely authenticate WLAN users against a Windows database and set up their secure connections, Odyssey Server can communicate with Steel-Belted Radius to authenticate WLAN users in branch offices or distributed departments against a central security infrastructure which may or may not be based on Windows.
		WLAN security based on the IEEE security standard 802.1x and strong authentication methods such as EAP-TTLS is an extremely scalable, distributable, and cost-effective way to move toward widespread deployment of WLAN access across your enterprise.

	How to build a secure WLAN - Computerworld
		WLAN access points can be probed by anyone within reach of the network's radio signal, thus constituting physically unbounded entry points from which to launch intrusions, viruses and all other types of attacks that threaten landline networks.
		WLAN access points are often deployed inside corporate networks behind conventional firewalls, making these access points even more attractive as points for launching attacks.
		Develop WLAN management policies; internal employees should not be allowed to leak WLAN configuration information to outsiders or to construct an ad hoc network topology with a P2P configuration.

		It may be tempting to calculate the number of access points you need to install based on the number of users and their minimum bandwidth requirements, but that can limit you down the road when you need more capacity.
		Keep in mind, too, that though 802.11b is getting all the attention these days, 11a soon will become the high-performance WLAN standard of choice, so your infrastructure should support it from day one, or at least be upgradable to it in the near future.
		Free-space path loss, which is more of an issue in open or outdoor environments, is the expanding and dispersing of radio signals as their wave fronts broaden, preventing them from being heard by receiving antennae.

		In an 802.1x-equipped WLAN, a client (known as the supplicant) requests access to an access point (known as the authenticator).
		The cryptographic implication is that the key-space is larger than before and whenever the WLAN comes close to running out of encryption keys, the AP may broadcast a new root key thus generating a brand new key-space.

		This could be because end users are buying notebooks with WLAN adapters embedded in them and are bringing the technology to their place of work.
		The other is to make sure you get the best coverage and least interference out of your WLAN topology - in other words, to make sure that access points are installed in the spots where they optimize reach with the right amount of coverage overlap so that the channels do not interfere with one another.
		Similarly, when supporting remotely mobile users who might be using a public WLAN service, most companies will do so using an IPSec VPN to encrypt the user's session not only over the radio-access link but over the untrusted public Internet as well.
