The IP2000 is a cheap chip (< $10 in quantity) for doing 802.11b. It is a general purpose RISC cpu that's fast enough to do MAC routing in software. (is that correct?)

Update 12 Feb 2004:
Drat, from what one of the Squeezebox guys have said, you must buy the $15k dev tools from Ubicom to do development. And, you still gotta buy a wireless card. This is not worth it.
