 recognized and usable in RTEMS. Most ZynqMP dev boards use CGEM3.
 
+When used with lwIP from the rtems-lwip integration repository, these BSP
+variants support networking via CGEM0 and one of the other CGEM* instances
+simultaneously. This is a limitation of the Xilinx driver, specifically
+in code referring directly to XPAR_XEMACPS_0_BASEADDR. Attempting to use more
+than two interfaces simultaneously may cause unexpected behavior. Attempting to
+use a set of two interfaces that does not include CGEM0 may cause unexpected
+behavior.
+
+The interfaces will not come up by default under lwIP and must be configured
+manually. There are examples of this in the start_networking() implementation
+in netstart.c as used by the network tests.
