I see there is an Xbee WiFi module available, but I have never used it and I do not know if it is compatible with Netduino.

Thanks for all the responses. Being new to Netduino it seems to me that their is not a lot of wifi compatible hardware out there for the netduino.
I have seen the following "Mantis" bot at this site.

They are using the netduino plus (with the ethernet port) and used a 12 volt car battery in addition to a wireless router.
I was thinking that this might be an alternative way of acheiving my objective.
I purchased my netduino yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive, so I can start playing.

If the physical size does not hinder the project, then using a wireless router with a Netduino Plus is a good method. I think you'll find Netduino to be a useful microcontroller platform. Good luck.

I'm doing the same thing in my project. I bought a little LG Nortel WiFi router for $28. Since it takes 9v, I power it off a pack of six AA batteries. Works for hours, even with six 1.2V NiMH AAs that don't add up to 9V.

I plan to create a Shield with the RN-131G which will be connected via UART (instead of SPI), but this will take some time.
The advantage of the WiFly Shield is in my opinion that the TCP connection is handled by the shield / device and the serial / UART connection is transparent.

As stated in my previous comment in this thread, yesAre there any code examples of using the wifly?
That will be difficult, that can only be done when the networking drivers are compiled within the firmware. So it would require a custom-made firmware.Can I use regular HTTPWEBRESPONSE / HTTPWEBREQUEST calls?
I have, however, written a http client class that can work together with my wifly driver. See http://netmftoolbox....NET.HTTP_Client for more about this HTTP Client class
