Could someone answer this questions ?

"What differences are there in the Higher (above transport) Layers of the
OSI model, between an normal ethernet connection and a wireless connection
?"
TIP : Think of an email program connecting itself to the mail server ?

Thanks in advance.

Gatien:

None.
WiFi and Ethernet are alternative OSI layer 1 and 2 concepts.
A mail server would have an IP address (OSI layer 3) and use port 80 if web
based or ports 25 & 110 if SMTP/POP3 based (ports are in OSI layer 4)
