For the ones that did take the WiFu class (and need more red pills) and those who have not but need wi-fi juice, here is what I recommend:
-Wi-Foo, published in 2004 (A. Vladimirov, Konstantin V. Gavrilenko, Andrei A. Mikhailovsky) – was written to be (at the time) “The definitive guide to penetrating and defending wireless networksâ€. Extremely well put together, written and very accessible language (even for the non-initiate), this book get’s you from basic wifi concepts, to offensive ‘lab’ gear and practical scenarios including commands/arguments and output explained in detail (as well as some defensive concepts). As a companion the www.wi-foo.org website full of tools and links to follow.
More info found here: http://www.amazon.com/Wi-Foo-Secrets.../dp/0321202171
-CWNA (v4) & CWSP (v2) self-training. Although I do not encourage anyone to hunt the certs., I would encourage reading the books as future insight into the wireless (in)securities but from a different perspective (corporate view). First one is more, ‘how does stuff work’™ oriented (but offers good 802.11 foundation), the second one puts more accent on defensive security – focusing on 802.1x/EAP and 802.11i.

-More resources I would recommend (to digest with the books) are as follows:
oDefinitely make a habit on visiting www.aircrack-ng.org !
