The Java Demo Application of the free RedPine Wifi Card is very easy to use. The demo application - by default - can connect to a router with no security key. I removed the security key on my router and tried the included Java demo app and it worked! :D

When you connect it to a router with security key, you need to modify the network_config.h file as stated on the Quick Start Guide. At minimum, here are the things needed to be changed.
Not stated on the Quick Start Guide is that it only supports WPA2 (AES) mode of security and does not support WEP and WPA (TKIP). I was stucked on the testing of the Wifi Card on my secured router (using WEP) because I quickly jumped on making it work and didn't even managed to read first the documentations on the CD (lesson learned here haha). So I just changed my router's key to a WPA2. And it can be controlled now by the Java demo app.
Next is to create a Python app on my desktop and control the Wifi card. Final project is to control the Renesas using Android.
