Another good read on WPA/WPA2 is the "Crash Course" from Network Computing entitled "The ABCs of WPA2 Security." You may be able to access this PDF download directly at http://i.cmpnet.com/nc/1702/graphics/1702crash_file.pdf; if that link doesn't work for you, you'll have to visit http://www.networkcomputing.com/wireless/crash-course-the-abcs-of-wpa2-security.php and register with the site instead.

Enjoy!
