From the data sheet:
The MRF24WB0MA/MRF24WB0MB modules are designed to be used with Microchip’s TCP/IP software stack. The software stack has an integrated driver that implements the API that is used in the modules for command and control, and for management and data packet traffic.
The Microchip TCP/IP software stack is available in the free Microchip Application Libraries download (including example applications and source code) from the Microchip web site, http://www.microchip.com/wireless
The combination of the module and a PIC running the TCP/IP stack results in support for IEEE Standard802.11 and IP services. This allows, for example, the immediate implementation of a wireless web server.
It is breadboard able with thin lead wires soldered to each MRF24WB0M connection and at the other end a short length of a clipped resistor lead to connect to the breadboard.
