Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Wireless network programming in Unix (question) Post 302447563 by Corona688 on Monday 23rd of August 2010 02:30:31 PM

The computer gets to control which network it connects to, which is very different from ethernet over copper, but once it's actually connected it acts just like any network. UDP tutorials and the like all apply perfectly fine to wireless --as well it should, otherwise we'd all need special new wireless-enabled clients and servers for mundane things like browsing the web!

This is because it's done in layers. The only program on your computer that needs to care whether it's wireless ethernet or not is the one that picks which wireless network connection your card connects to. Other programs just treat it like any other ethernet connection.
