Hot Wi Fi Links!
Wi-Fi is short for wireless fidelity -- used generically when
referring of any type of 802.11 network, including 802.11b, 802.11a, and
802.11g. It is a trade term promulgated by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility
Alliance (WECA). "Wi-Fi" is used in place of 802.11 in the same way that
"Ethernet" is used in place of IEEE 802.3. Products certified as Wi-Fi by WECA
are interoperable with each other even if they are from different manufacturers.
A user with a Wi-Fi product can use any brand of Access Point (AP) with any
other brand of client hardware that is built to the Wi-Fi standard.
