Doesn't seem like a great idea to combine a low-end micro with and embedded
Linux WiFi module. I've worked on systems with that type of architecture and
ended up wishing I had one more powerful micro that does both.

I still like the Arduino platform but this seems like the wrong direction with
so many capable low cost ARM boards to choose from.

I liked the gradation of Arduino - Raspberry Pi - Beagleboard [Add further

How easy is it to get the eATMega324 to talk to AR9331?

Is it done by supplying a special package for the Arduino?
