yet another new ethernet module

[HenrikOlsson]

Yes, it uses the new W5200 chip which looks very similar in command-set to the W5100 but has 8 (vs 4) simultanous sockets and 32 (vs 16) kB TX/RX memory buffers. The SPI interface also handles much higher speed than on the W5100 and if I'm not mistaken it has a sequential read/write mode so you don't have to adress each individual byte in a series of read/write ops.

Looks great, but like you say, not yet "buyable" - the bare chip is though.

About 10 years back I built one of these. Things sure have changed.

While I suspect the code burden will be too high for use in my application, I am going to add this to my WizNET shield. It would be nice to have a WizNet Serial-to-Ethernet module of similar size and with 5V tolerant inputs.

BTW, a distributor of Arduino related products is going to help fund and then will distribute my system boards and shields so they should start trickling out in about 6-8 weeks if I can avoid more health related setbacks.
