What about using the Maxim <http://www.maxim-ic.com/MAX2829>

Unfortunately I was not able  to  continue  my  development,  du  to  my
problems with France (they have confiscated my lab on 2011-06-04)

I am ongoing to use the chip together with a NXP Cortex M0  LPC11U24  as
baseband and code my own 802-11 a/b/g firmware.

Note:  The MAX2829 require only Tx/Rx and 3-Wire SPI Interface

       Also I have submitted a NEW quote-request for 50k/100k.

Also I use the <http://www.maxim-ic.com/MAX2769> GPS Receiver, but there
is now a better version which support GPS, Galileo and GLONASS.

So, if the EOMA board has enough internal USB connectors (which  my  own
TabletPC has) and you use the Low-Energy Cortex M0,  you  are  open  for
anything which support USB.

Note: I have 4 Mini-PCIe connectors in my TabletPC using a 7port USB Hub
      from NXP/STEricsson (unfortunately there ISP1521 is now obsolete)

;-)

What about using a standard PCIe connenctor with USB  and  then  wait  a
little bit?  I could need someone which like to write the Firmware.

For Germany/EU and Mass-Production ~7000 Euro

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
