I am presuming you are implying that I would create patches for review by
the committers, who would then merge them into CVS. If so, how is this done.
Do I just submit an updated source file somewhere, or do I need to create
some sort of 'diff' file?

This only makes sense. I suppose it is safe to say that I hope one day to be
included in that list.

Unfortunately my stack is not open source. It was a work done for hire and
there is NO way my customer is going to let it out. Actually, given that TCP
is probably half the total effort in building a stack, and that I haven't
built TCP for my implementation, I am working on convincing the customer for
which I built my own stack to use lwIP instead. I'll be able to keep my
low-level NIC drivers and I'll create an interface layer to mimic the API of
my old stack.
