UNO with Juniper WIFI shield - Comments?

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

I have the UNO. I'm looking at the Juniper Wifi Shield. It has the TCP/IP/ stack built in.

  1. Does the Juniper require an adapter board?
  2. Do I have a choice on IO with the desktop for programming and/or debugging?
  3. Can I use SPI to use WIFI for communications?
  4. I understand there is a need to change the IO pins on the Juniper board to make the serial IO work via the USB port. Is that correct?
    Any comments or suggestions on the Juniper board - problems, workarounds?

OK: http://www.linksprite.com/product/showproduct.php?lang=en&id=116 (The Juniper shield)
Note the text in red: "As this WiFi shield shares the same UART port with FT232, when you download the programs, please remove the WiFi shield first."

The info says that the board works on 3.3V. But the UNO board does not produce that. Is that correct?
