They claim that that is a 1-chip solution. Is it really?
Marvell uses a 2-chip solution.

If a 2-chip solution is OK, then one could start with a
1-chip softmac solution and add any arbitrary processor.
That CPU could be ARM, MIPS, sh3, sh4, sh5, CRIS,
ColdFire, Blackfin, 186, PDP-11, IA-64...

In any case:

At minimum one must get promises in writing, but it's far
better to have actual published documentation first.
Don't forget about the errata!

BTW, CSR also does GPS for under a dollar.
