Any good wireless online encyclopedia's

MissionKap1001

Hi all. I used this site here - http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/ to help me pass the A+ and Network+ certifications. I used it only as an extra reference when I needed a definition on something. The website had most definitions for what I was looking for and in many cases included drawings. Unfortunately that website doesn't focus on wireless. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good website that I can refer too when I'm confused about something when reading the CWNA study guide?

I use www.webopedia.com and 99.9 % of the time I've found what I was looking for.

Besides the usual wireless sites ( www.cwne.com, www.wi-fiplanet.com), I always use www.wikipedia.org. I just wrote a large paper on 802.11 security for a secure systems development and cryptography class, and many of the entries (802.1X, 802.11i, VPN, IPsec, Kerberos, Cryptographic attacks, etc.) sure came in handy. Firefox has a Wikipedia search engine plug-in that's very handy too.

Do you have a link to that plugin? I've got one that can lookup words in multiple online dictionaries, but I wouldn't mind having one for Wikipedia as well.

In the Firefox search box, click on the down arrow to open the drop-down list. Click on "Add Engines..." at the bottom of the list. A web page will open to all of the search engine plug-ins. Just click on the Wikipedia link to install the search engine plug-in for it. I also use the search engines for dictionary.com, amazon.com, newegg.com, pricewatch.com, addall.com, and ebay.com quite a bit.

I also recommend the Spellbound spelling checker plug-in to spell check all text in web page text boxes. I don't know how I got along without it.
