Hello all,

Sorry for the OT, but I got stuck so I turn to the hard-core designers :-)
I would like to implement a wifi connection on an embedded application 
using the applications own MPU + an additional MAC/PHY.
Is this a very silly thing to do? Because after a day of searching I 
have found a lot of ready to use wifi-modules but almost no separate 
MPU-MAC/PHY solutions.
Has anyone done this? Am I missing something why this approach is just 
not done (besides the SW-stack needed)?

Thanks for any assistance.
Cheers, Robert.
