I don't think that testing your ethernet driver is really possible. 
After all, it should send and receive data through the wire, you won't 
be able to test that using one machine only.

Testing your OS abstraction layer (sys_arch.c) is kind of hard since it 
would require the tests to be run on your target, while the tests we 
were talking about should mainly run under linux and windows, I guess.

We were mainly talking about unit tests in this thread until now, while 
what you propose seems like a system test to me...
But feel free to post any tests that you think makes porting lwIP easier!
