looking for low-cost WiFi modules

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.

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.

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.
