You read the article which is cool, but Wifi was on chip set during the Centrino days, then WinModems ( blows chunks ), and now we have Wifi/BT/Audio/Kitchen sink on chip.


And you didn't read the comment I was responding to.

> WinModems

Which were just firmware moved to software

> Wifi/BT/Audio/Kitchen sink on chip

Yes, but no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi
