Marvell enters 802.11g fray: Marvell is the kind of company you never hear about because they make the guts, mostly anonymously, for much of the inexpensive, high-quality networking gear out there. They were the first to provide an all-in-CMOS (all standard silicon chip process) 802.11b chipset, and they're one of the primary reasons that the cost of gigabit Ethernet switches has just plummeted. 802.11g was originally predicted to cost somewhat, but not much higher than b. I expect the reverse will happen by the time Wi-Fi certification for g hits later this summer: b will plummet in cost, and g will wind up even below recent b pricing.
