Security of wireless 802.11 networks

[daneil16]

Hi there, I am currently doing an assignment on the security of wireless networks. I was just wondering really if anyone had any interesting sites or white papers that might be relavant to my area. Its a 5000 word essay so any information would be great. I am also currently playing about with linux and using backtrack 2, so if anyone has any tutorials (with pics or videos:) ) that would be great. I have found a couple of videos on youtube, but very low quality and hard to work out.
If you could spare some time that would be great. Thanks Dan
