I can't find any pages exactly like you require, but these two seem to 
me to be relatively sensible and informative:

http://tuxmobil.org/wireless_unix.html
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/wmp11-linux.htm

In general, though, a broadcast medium is not a great starting point if 
what you really want is a secure network.
