seems nice, but don't know whats the power consumption of the wifi chip.
If you need to connect a battery-powered sensor wireless, a merkurboard
from the "Automat" might be a good way. IPv6+CoAP over 802.15.4, but you
will need another merkurboard(+usb-serial) to connect your PC/Server to
the "node-cloud". A Raspberry Pi can connect directly to a merkurboard
through the GPIO pins.

cheers,
Florian

PS: merkurboard is free/open source, but most howtos are in german atm,
but I want to translate them soon.
