Hi!

I have inspected TODO file from barebox repo. Here is a quote:

  [ ] Rewrite network stack. The one-loop-for-all-protocols stack is just too
      ugly and big and uses thousands of global variables. Identify common
      functions and make a loop per network protocol

There is no much tiny TCP/IP stack candidates for porting to barebox.
The most notable is lwIP (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/).

See "project that use lwIP" list here: http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/Projects_that_use_lwIP

lwip code is BSD-licensed. Is it possible to use lwip code in barebox?

P.S. Anyway TODO file from barebox repo is outdated (last change Jul 22 2010).
