Features:

• Half MiniCard reference design provides one-chip IEEE 802.11a/b/g MAC, baseband, and direct conversion dual-band radio functions for wireless LAN connectivity supporting data rates from 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz bands.
  
  Broadcom's revolutionary one-chip architecture implemented in a bulk CMOS process greatly reduces the external components typically required for IEEE 802.11a/b/g implementations, resulting in significant cost, power, and footprint savings. The extreme integration of the enables low rest-of-BOM (RBOM), singled-sided, two-layer PCB-based designs.
• • Slashes size, cost and power for PCs, DSL Gateways and Gaming Platforms
  • Single-chip 802.11a/b/g MAC/PHY with integrated dual-band a/b/g radio
  • Reference designs supporting PCIe MiniCards, PCIe Half-MiniCards, SDIO modules, and PCIe MiniCard Bluetooth Combo
  • Software support for Windows? 2K, XP, Vista, Linux? operating systems, IEEE 802.1x, CCX v4 and CCX v5
