Hardware vs software...
Mar 9, 2007 11:40PM PST

I believe the intent was for Networking and Wireless to concern hardware-based issues, such as installing wireless routers, while Wireless Internet would be for software-related issues, such as securing the connection or accessing hotspots. There's a lot of overlap, but different approaches to the topic.

Of course, that's just my understanding.
