Hello,
Apologies for not asking a strictly Keil related question, but I was hoping somebody would be able to share with me his experience with wireless modules that make it possible for a device like an iPad or laptop to connect to the embedded device (in other words, it needs to allow others to connect to its own network). Is this a standard option of WiFi modules...? (I checked a couple of user manuals but it is not a 100% clear yet...). I have (currently) little experience with WiFi devices...
Generally, a wireless protocol 'standard' (ie: 802.11, Bluetooth) provides a means to allow for other devices to connect.
For a proprietary designed protocol, a device must support that protocol to connect into it.

As a lad I used string to communicate, and two tin cans ;)
@T W,
Can you recommend a specific device ?
If you just want to play and learn, TI has some ready-to-go eval modules for resonable prices:

Personally, my experience is with frequency hopping in the ISM band at both the baseband and proprietary protocol stack levels from the ground up using Motorola transceivers (the customer put out the development cost up front so in the end the system was theirs and they would recover from the ultra low cost of the board).
Thanks.
