+1 for a Mega version of the WiShield. Have I said that before? ;)

First of all, congratulations on a fantastic product. I'm looking forward to some interesting designs with the YellowJacket.

The main thing I would like to see is availability of an external-antenna version. A lot of times, the PCB antenna just doesn't cut it, especially if you want to put your design in a metal box.

Just received some new AsyncLabs parts, including a YellowJacket, and am impressed/intrigued with the "microscopic" size ;) The YellowJacket is a great candidate for future projects where a small footprint is necessary (car based hoo-haa?).

AsyncLabs - kudos - nicely done!

I was thinking about picking up a YellowJacket for a project I am working on for that very reason. However, after including the WiShield library AND sdfatlib to read from a microsd card the atmega368 is running very low on program space. I have decided I will have to get a saguino (atmega644) and try to get a wishield working on it.

Use a WifiChip with the stack onboard! something like the wifly shield... but with much better support would be ace!
