    I assume you mean WiFi.

    Is pretty good. This is not a tutorial on wireless penetration
    testing and contains lots of unrelated information. Les relevant
    with the same problems is the Certified Wireless Security
    Professional - Study Guide.

    With both of these you would still have to identify the attack
    specific sections and then reverse the perspective from
    defend to attack - but these are the best references
    I know so far. Most of the wireless security books
    that I have looked at have a section on cell phones,
    a section on WiFi, a section on Blue tooth, etc.
