TW3100A chip supports 2 modes of operation. Embedded TCP/IP or RAW mode.

In RAW MAC mode, any software based TCP/IP stack should be able to interface
to this mode. This would include Marinetti at the Link layer or lwIP or uIP.

In the Embedded TCP/IP mode you have direct support for TCP, UDP and IP but
you are limited to 4 concurrent sessions. Using RAW MAC mode you may or may
not have that limitation depending on the implementation.

It seems that the Apple][ should not need or be able to handle more than 4 concurrent sessions. And reducing the amount of software necessary makes the applications easier to write.

I am just starting to delve into Adams code so I am not sure which direction
I am headed in just yet.

Are you looking at just the TCP/IP stacks or are you also looking at Contiki?
