While many of these are excellent resources for advanced programmers, they tend to be too deep for the beginner who just wants to know how to use it. Why require a potential driver to understand the theory behind his automobile?

This technology is slowly growing (I should say maturing), and despite a general lack of interest, Linux is able to take advantage of some of the wireless networks available.
