Hacking Mac WiFi?

A reader writes:
"I've really learned a lot from reading your book Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther, but I'm still unsure what's involved in tweaking my WiFi configuration from the command line. Help?
Dave's Answer: Actually, that's a bit beyond my book, as you've seen, and while there are some useful commands available in Terminal.app, notably the general purpose ipconfig utility (for example ipconfig set en1 DHCP will get you a new DHCP license if needed), but I recommend you check out Mac OS X Unwired, written by my friends Dori & Tom, for lots of good information on this subject.
