I got this book and noticed that it talks about Wireless too. Is that topic a requirement for CCNA?
Maybe it changed since I took my classes (May 2006).

So, it must be the new book then. It says 2nd edition July 2007 on the file.

I just read the front page and it says 640-802. So, I guess I was studying for the new test but I will take the old one.
It seems that the new one 802 covers almost everything that it is on CCNP.
