the latest release is 0.6.4 I think and should be in the file download
area on savannah.Alternately you can check out the lwip module from CVS
preferably the devel tag if you want the latest.There's the stable tag
which is a copy of devel of about 2 months ago.

Indeed this is the situation.Port maintainers try to have the latest
contrib module working with the latest devel version of CVS so if you
check them both from CVS they should work.

Look at the tapif in unix and the c16 and coldfire drivers those should
be are up to date.

As Kieran said there's no reason to wait. Major changes (if any) are
more likely to happen in the system independent parts.
