It's a network architecture which employs wireless devices. Compared to "classical" network topology, where the cable is network medium, in wireless networks is the air a network medium. It means, that all data travels through the air.
Wireless topology can be of 2 basic categories:
Ad-hoc = no central device, just a bunch of computers connected together through their wireless network adapters.
Infrastructure = there is a central device called "access point" to which all client computers connect. This access point provides interconnectivity between clients and also sometimes between the wireless and wired network.

What topology allows wireless network cards to talk to all wireless cards on the network?
a wireless mesh topology, like a regular mesh topology, but instead of all clients on the network being wired up, they simply just connect via wireless
What type of topology is 802.11b?
802.11b is for Wireless communication (WLAN). It does not fall under a specific "traditional" type of topology.
How do you make wireless network loop?
By connecting it with ring topology
Which topology is ideal when running cables is impractical?
A wireless network
Which topology would you use when unable to install network cable?
Wireless.
Which wireless topology supports roaming from one access point to another?
ESS
What is the difference between WiFi and wireles mesh networks?
A wireless mesh network really doesn't make sense; the mesh topology assumes that every node in the network has a connection to every other node, and is primarily used for fault tolerance.With wireless technology there is no concept of a "connection", therefore having a mesh topology with a wireless network would be very difficult.Wi-Fi is a wireless technology.

A hub
What are connective devices?
A device with wireless connectivity or Ethernet ports, which otherwise connects a series of devices in a network topology.

What device connects networks?
A device with wireless connectivity or Ethernet ports, which otherwise connects a series of devices in a network topology.
Repeaters are typically used on what type of networks?
Either a Bus topology or Wireless repeating, depends on how the question is stated...
