We use our own, see www.mpeforth.com/powernet.htm If you are using external Ethernet chips such as the SMSC 91Cxxx series, RealTek 8019AS (and other NE2000 clones) or Asix 88976, the drivers are pretty simple and there are plenty of code examples on the net. Once you know what you are doing, about 200 lines of code. The Ethernet controllers integrated into most CPUs tend to consist of a MAC unit with small buffers and a DMA engine. You have to manage it all yourself. They can require 1000+ lines of code. What to do depends on the hardware volume and how much time you have.
