OK. Search the email archives for LWIP there have been a few
discussions about this project before. You can use site:... search on
google to find something. Get your proposal into Melange soon, and you
might consider asking on RTEMS-users mailing list if anyone is
interested in the LWIP project.

I think getting LWIP to work itself is not quite a GSOC amount of
work, but there may be other things to do that can flesh out the full
summer of work.
