Hi,
I have never run LwIP over SPI or RS232 but that does not mean it will not work.
LwIP needs a way to send and receive data, hens the driver.
MAC address is set in software when you initialize netif interface
Modern SPI interfaces can run at 30Mbs
As LwIP running on a small micro is not very fast the above can get you decent
communication speed.
All you need to do is write the driver and it should be OK.
This is my insight :-)
Good luck,
Noam.

Hi Sergio R. Caprile
I'm using LWIP for years successfully, and - yes - Google is my friend.
My question was about SPI.
I several times came across references that SPI is used in place of RMII, to
communicate over LAN. Frankly I'm in doubt this is possible at all but if this
notice came from the LWIP list which I trust, I ventured to ask for more
details.
(maybe an SPI to RMII converter exists, and MAC emulation is done in software?)
You have not included a citation from my post, in your reply, and my this
message might look unclear for public.
Sorry for that, and no problem(s). I will continue reading this mailing list
with great interest!
Cheers.
