Hi Wojciech Topolski, It would theoretically be possible. However, we have ran into several issues with just the Arduino WiFi library & the Arduino WiFi shield itself already (please attached mail thread).
No pre-work has been done to consider the ESP8266 WiFi module yet. Because of current constraints, some of the considerations to be made for supporting a new WiFi module would be the following: - Will this module work on both the Arduino ATMega 2560 (Keep in mind the Arduino ATMega 2560 is pretty constrained) & on the Arduino Due? - For ease, does this new module work with the Arduino WiFi library already? (ie. less source code in the stack to update; can be overcome by updating the modules you've referenced below) o If not, what does this work look like to implement support in our stack for this new module? - Does this module support multicast? With the above questions answered we can begin to see what kind of time our dev teams (or even an outside contributor!) are looking at putting into supplying support for the ESP8266 WiFi module. At this time, we've only been aware of broad usage of the Arduino WiFi shield and therefore this is why we've chosen to support it. I assume we would need some indication that this new WiFi module would be used by a lot of our end users as well. If you can answer these questions, that would be great! If not, can you describe any pros/cons for our consideration? There wouldn't necessarily be support for/against supporting a new WiFi module until more information is collected.

I saw that .../connectivity/src/ip_adapter/arduino caipclient_wifi.cpp depends on Arduino WiFi library (ex. WiFi.h and others). But maybe there is some way?
