There's an AppNote that describes the project on their website and includes schematics. Theoretically you could turn the board and use a ZeroG wireless module in place of the on-chip PHY and it'd be wireless. The stack supports the ZeroG as of a month or two ago. Since it's "just" a demo board, it is exactly what it is, except for the fact that you can, of course, re-flash the code with whatever you want. There aren't too many degrees of freedom with this board otherwise. It's not a full-fledged development board. It's also using an 8-bit processor, so it doesn't have the headroom that the Jeff-O-Matic has though. Still impressive though. Mahogany extra.

Seems like you could homebrew your own for much less with WiFi capability. I wonder if they have the firmware available for download?
