Ok ok..... but compared to an off the shelf Wifi router, these modules
aren't low cost and I have a hard time telling my customers why the end user
price of a Wifi enabled device I produce is 10 times the price of an off the
shelf router.

Lantronix.

I'm guessing you want to write minimal software, but another option might be
a USB port, a USB wifi dongle, and a wifi stack. Might work out cheaper if
you have the volume to make the software work worthwhile.
