We are looking a low-cost WiFi modules for our embedded ARM9-based products. The module is better to have everything inside, so we just to connect and use it as a blackbox. Anyway we are open to modify our firmware to provide essential supports for this WiFi module. Could anybody recommend one?
Thanks.

Lantronix makes/sells the WiPort and others which meet all your stated requirements.

Except the "low-cost" bit....

It is low cost, compared to a higher cost. The cost target wasn't stated in absolute terms. So I was right. :)

Ok ok..... but compared to an off the shelf Wifi router, these modules aren't low cost and I have a hard time telling my customers why the end user price of a Wifi enabled device I produce is 10 times the price of an off the shelf router.

ZeroG WiFi just puchased by Microchip?
Yes. I agree with you. Price is the #1 problem with anything from Lantronix.

I'm guessing you want to write minimal software, but another option might be a USB port, a USB wifi dongle, and a wifi stack. Might work out cheaper if you have the volume to make the software work worthwhile.
