ESP8266 + I2S = Software-based 10-Base-T Ethernet Driver
cnlohr @ github.com wanted to have an Ethernet interface for ESP8266 so he build one. more details on hackaday. This is a relatively unreliable and coincidentally functional ESP8266 Ethernet driver. It only uses two pins on the ESP, the I2S pins, but does provide Ethernet. It does...
