RTEMS supports at least three different network stacks, the lwIP and two 
FreeBSD based network stacks. In the RTEMS sources an old FreeBSD 
network stack is included which is state of the art 1990s. In a separate 
component, the libbsd, there is a port of the FreeBSD 9.3 network stack 
(it can be updated to the latest FreeBSD on demand). The feature set of 
the libbsd network stack is quite huge thanks to FreeBSD.

The network stack of the libbsd supports the pf firewall for example.

Do you know at least one open source project that offers such a 
certificate out of the box? There exists some RTEMS forks that are space 
qualified for example. There are some activities to make it easier to 
qualify the community version of RTEMS according to a certain standard.

 From a technical point of view please keep in mind that RTEMS is a 
single-process multiple-threads operating system without a user/kernel 
space separation.

This depends on the board. A well supported BSP provides drivers for 
UART, I2C, SPI, SD/MMC card, USB and Ethernet.
