Many Linux distributions are evolving to support several 802.11b network
cards right out of the box. SuSE and RedHat are examples of two
major distributions that support several WLAN NIC cards, most notably
the Orinoco WaveLAN card. The driver is built right into the operating
system, and it is easily enabled by editing one of the configuration files.
Linux is becoming a very popular networking platform for end-users
as well as for servers. Therefore, wireless networking capabilities will
become more of a mainstay in the future. As these operating systems
evolve, it will be essential to pay extra attention to your wireless networking
security and make certain you keep extensive logs of all network
activity so that you can identify any possible hacker intrusions or
eavesdropping into your WLAN.
