[Year 12 IT Apps] Wireless protocols

[Mark Kelly]

Neither protocols nor topologies are part of the study design, however 
the examiners often assume a reasonable general knowledge of common 
internet components.  Understanding the meaning of 802.11 probably would 
be over the top, but kids' knowing the usefulness of Wifi would be 
reasonable, I'd say.
