Actually my curiosity is not that I want to build one but more that I
would
like to know how they got the signal onto 2.4 ghz. I am more interested
in
the rf transmitter and receiver portions than in what they are using it
for.

Most, if not all, modern chipsets that for 802.11b use direct conversion
to I and Q channels ... the major signal procesing is done at baseband.

For simpler, more general RF/IF needs, you might check out, for example,
the websites of
RF Microdevices http://www.rfmd.com
and
Maxim http://www.maxim-ic.com/
