Since 802.11 uses Ethernet-style addressing, it is not necessary to devise a separate means for handling text/html 2009-08-13T11:22:50-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/wirelessboot/implementation?rev=1250187770&do=diff Some wireless implementation details Network association Before an 802.11 device can be used, it must become associated with a network by exchanging a series of management frames with the Access Point. In some cases there is additional security handshaking required after association. gPXE's 802.11 layer handles this transparently by always having the association task running if association has not yet succeeded, and using the link-up bit in the wrapping
