Greetings. Your description is quite puzzling.
POSIX threads in eCos have nothing to do with the network stack, not directly at least. The POSIX functionality is essentially a carefully crafted set of wrappers over the basic eCos threading architecture. Think of the networking stack as a state machine implementation borrowed from a BSD derivative and driven using native eCos threads running under the eCos kernel. Now you can take a POSIX application and via the POSIX "wrapper" link the application to the networking stack and the kernel. My humble and pointed suggestion : RTFM. eCos has abundant documentation that sheds light on these concepts. Cheerio!
