Hello,

most parts of my RIOT-OS port to the ESP8266 has been implemented. GPIO,
SPI, I2C, UART, PWM seem to be ready and most of local applications are
working.

However, RIOT-OS makes no real sense without networking. Unfortunately,
ESP8266 doesn't have Zigbee or 802.15.4 radio interface on board.

Sure, one possibility would be to connect a Zigbee module via SPI. But,
it doesn't seem to be reasonable to connect a 25 EUR Zigbee module to a
3 EUR MCU which has a WiFi interface on board.

Therefore, my question is, what is the best way to realize networking on
a new platform that doesn't have 802.15.4 radio but full TCP/IP stack
and WiFi on board?

Any suggestion helps.

Regards
Gunar
