Linux Unwired [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Chapter 3. Getting On the Network

Assuming that you didn't encounter any problems in
Chapter 2, you should now have a functional
wireless
network adapter, and the knowledge to
configure and use it under Linux. If you have a wireless network set up at home or at work,
chances are you will use this network most of the time.

If, however, you have Linux installed on a notebook PC, chances are
you're often in transit, and you probably want to
find and use wireless networks in cities, airports, hotels, and
conferences.

This chapter discusses tools and techniques that allow you to find
available wireless
networks, whether they are fee-based or free.
