I found some info on the new edition of Network Warrior coming out on the 22nd and i quickly went ahead with my pre-order.

http://www.gad.net/Blog/2011/05/01/network-warrior-second-edition/

* Almost every chapter has updated examples. Where applicable, there are now examples from CatOS, IOS and NX-OS based switches.
* Examples that used Catalyst 3550 switches in the first edition have been updated with output from 3750s
* Examples that used older interfaces like 10Mbps Ethernet have been updated to show Gigabit interfaces on modern devices
* Chapters that used PIX firewalls have been updated to show examples from ASA appliances
* The Cisco PIX chapter had been replaced with a Cisco ASA chapter. New features such as firewall contexts and active-active standby are covered as well
* New technology is included. For example the chapter on Etherchannel (now called Link Aggregation) includes explanations and examples for MultiChassis Etherchannel (MEC) and Virtual Port-Channels (vPC)
* Most references to Solaris have been replaced or removed
* The Catalyst 6500 chapter has been expanded to include VSS and MEC
* There is a new chapter covering Cisco Nexus switches. This chapter covers features, hardware information, new technology and NX-OS configuration examples from both Nexus 5000s and 7000s
* There is a new chapter on VoIP which walks the reader though designing and building a SOHO telephony system using a Cisco 2811 router, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME), Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Unity Express (Detailed CUE configuration is not covered). Both H323 and SIP examples are included
* There is a new chapter showing how to design and configure a single Cisco Wireless Access Point (WAP) for a SOHO environment
* There is a new chapter on the basics of IPv6, complete with useful examples
* There is a new chapter showing how third-party MPLS is configured
 
The first edition was great, and these look like good updates. I'll probably grab it when it comes out.
