+This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that
+do not contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files
+are:
+
+etharp.c
+ Implements the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over
+ Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with
+ Ethernet device drivers. Note that this module has been
+ largely made Ethernet independent so you should be able to
+ adapt this for other link layers (such as Firewire).
+
+ethernetif.c
+ An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This
+ file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet
+ network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code.
+
+loopif.c
+ A "loopback" network interface driver. It requires configuration
+ through the define LWIP_LOOPIF_MULTITHREADING (see opt.h).
+
+slipif.c
+ A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP)
+ protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work.
+
+ppp/ Point-to-Point Protocol stack
