Wi-Fi device? Fred shows you how the TRENDnet Wi-Fi
card will make your next wireless design project a
cinch.

When
it comes to learning something new, nothing beats simple
observation. Add a bit of reading (datasheets, white
papers, application notes, and forums) combined with
some logical deduction, and what first seemed to be
a complex concept leaps out of the fog and appears as
clear as a glass of ice cold Tennessee spring water.
After
months of observing, reading, and deducing, I found
myself on the road to constructing and programming an
inexpensive embedded Wi-Fi device that’s easy to build
and deploy. If you need such a device, you’ll be interested
in my observations, deductions, and actions.
