Yes, Indeed Broadcom is difficult to work with. So is Atheros since they
were bought out by Qualcom. You should mention your goal price and how many
units you want to manufacture and that can help me figure out what hardware
you should use. You could always use a general SOC from a chinese vendor

There are lots of ways we can add it, but the cost of adding it ruins
the cost advantage of the using the router chip. Broadcom BCM4717 has

Hi,
I have read your message in the thread, and I wonder how far have you come
with your development?
Do you have any website?
Thanks in advance.

Im going to manufacture Ralink and Realtek routers. The volume prices are
about 2.7 usd for RT3050 and 3.45 usd for RT3052. Realteak
RTL8196c/rtl8188re combo is 2.25 usd. Im focused on Realtek at the moment
since the BOM is about 7 to 8 usd.

On taobao...
Ralink RT3050 between $2 and $7, quite a spread.
Ralink RT3052 between $2 and $5
Finished routers using these chips are between $20 and $30.
So what's the real price
You should try buying the samples off taobao.com

The SD form-factor 802.11 card we were trying to integrate was based on
ath5k, IIFC, which would support AP mode. I believe we got far enough to
test in STA mode (i.e.. test the wifi link to a conventional base station).
Although, SD format factor for peripherals is not ideal, and possibly
obsole

Many moons ago I was working with a startup developing a small
battery-powered device based around TI's DaVinci DM355 SoC.

We tried to use the MMC/SDIO interface to talk to an SD form-factor 802.11

We are in the 2-4K volume range which is too low for them to
apparently care about. If they'd just put the chips into a distributor
and giv
This unfortunately a common attitude from parts vendors, especially when
you are not buying in qty 10k+.
You might try asking vendors for a tray of samples for testing purposes,
e.g. a dozen chips.

Are any of the router SOC CPUs easily available for purchase? We've
tried to buy some buy nobody wants to talk to us.
As a work around we are using a lpc3130 ($3.50) and an OEM USB wifi
stick ($4.00 ralink). We have to go through FCC anyway because of the
2.4Ghz 802.15.4 radio.
