Re: [lwip-users] Advice on wifi module

[Martin Velek]

Hello,

I personally prefer connectone modules because some of them have the
RMII interface. I would avoid modules not allowing passing raw
ethernet frames because they have only tcp/ip v4 inside (most of
them). In the future with the IP v6 it could be a problem and also if
you want to implement your own ethernet based protocol.

Best
Martin
