Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would rate the first edition of this book as an F. This edition is better and I would rate it a C.
The writing is unclear and as other reviewers have noted, the book seems to have errors. I would not trust this book to prepare for the Certification Exam.
Here is one of numerous examples of what I consider to be unclear writing. This one is on page 417.
"... but where older hardware can at best support TKIP, that mode can be supported"
Then in the very next sentence it says,
"Note that CCMP is the default method used in RSNAs and must be supported by all devices supporting RSNA."
To me these two sentences seem to contradict each other. Is CCMP support required or not? In any case, I'll go directly to the 802.11i spec for clarification. At least it's free.
Also the review questions seem to be very simple and do not really require any in depth understanding of the material to answer correctly. Sure these questions are easy to write but how useful are they really? Why not some meaty thought provoking questions like those in the CWNA Study Guide by Coleman with the answers explained - no that takes too much time.
