    You are very lucky. ISECOM just released "OSSTMM Wireless" a manual with
    methodology on how to test wireless networks. Very in-depth and thorough.
    You can find it here:
    http://www.isecom.org/projects/osstmm.htm

    As for the wireless world, I find NIST's Special Publication 800-48 very
    enlightening. It is available at
    http://www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-48/NIST_SP_800-48.pdf
