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.

Yes. I agree with you. Price is the #1 problem with anything from
Lantronix.

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.

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

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.
