The Raspberry Pi has no built-in wireless chip, but using USB WiFi 
adapters would be possible.

I did a bit of digging, and the Raspberry Pi uses the SMSC LAN9512 chip 
for wired Ethernet 
(http://www.smsc.com/media/Downloads_Public/Data_Sheets/9512.pdf). The 
smsc95xx driver currently lacks BQL support, so that would need to be 
added first.
