The first part of the book is an introduction to Wi-Fi and its applications. The second part of the book shows you how to hook up a network in your home. The third part covers the theoretical and practical details of security. The fourth part deals with extending the range of your laptop and some of the secrets behind wardriving.
I liked the tin can bandwidth extender project section. It´s just what you need in order to fire that over-priced cable or DSL connection and get your broadband service from one of the thousands of nearby Starbucks. The wardriving section shows you how to find access points from your car.. And summed up by saying New to Wi-Fi? 802.11 hobbyist? This is the book for you!. Currently Jeff Duntemann´s Drive-By Wi-Fi Guide has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Paraglyph Press claimed This book consists of many short, focused topic features that answer all the typical questions newcomers ask, such as ´how does this work? how do I do it?´ without losing the reader or a sense of humor. Duntemann explains the complex security issues clearly, and shows how users can protect themselves from both obvious and non-obvious threats. He expands the blizzard of WiFi acronyms and touches on the human element in the WiFi movement, including hacker threats and WiFi weirdness. The unique FAQ-index feature allows readers to zero in on precisely what they need to know without plowing through unrelated text. Many technical figures clarify difficult concepts, with abundant Web pointers to further information.
