Just to recap for those not too familiar with networking..

The uIP and it's bigger brother lwIP are TCP/IP stacks originally created by Adam Dunkels that are often used for the bemicro-sdk (EngineeringSpirit FreeLwIP, minsoc.com uses uIP I believe, etc).

Altera also used that stack, but dropped it after version 6.1 in favor of the other open source stack , NicheStack.

Either way, on the bemicrosdk the low-level physical layer is done by TI's DP83848C chip, and the Data Link / MAC layer is done on the FPGA via Altera's drop-in Triple Speed Ethernet megafunction.

Is this correct?
