The CCNA Wireless objectives will overlap with the CWNA exam's objectives too, so you can actually study for both certs at the same time. And use Linux to experiment with wireless software and you'll have all the bases covered. The networking certs will get you more employment opportunities than the Linux certs most any day.

They're a great alternative to actually buying the equipment. So are Cisco classes at community colleges, but only if they have the necessary wireless equipment.
