Hello

Hello,

Taking a chance, I'd like to start with drawing attention to
https://jira.zephyrproject.org/browse/ZEP-687 "docs:
Subsystems/Networking section is almost empty". Zephyr networking

See also https://jira.zephyrproject.org/browse/ZEP-188

information currently is sparse, disperse, bits are out of date, and
there're omissions/inconsistencies. Just linking a wiki landing
page from the official docs and letting community fill in that wiki
would be a good first step.

Agree

Anyway, waiting for real hardware support, I decided to give QEMU
networking a try. After some moderate googling, I arrived at
https://gerrit.zephyrproject.org/r/gitweb?p=net-tools.git;a=summary
and https://wiki.zephyrproject.org/view/Networking-with-Qemu . The
initial outcome: nothing works.

There is support for real hardware, see:
https://gerrit.zephyrproject.org/r/gitweb?p=zephyr.git;a=blob;f=samples/net/dns_client/prj_galileo.conf

There is also a driver for enc28j60, see:
https://jira.zephyrproject.org/browse/ZEP-291
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/Ethernet/ENC28J60-H/resources/ENC28J60-H.pdf

Yes, thanks, I meant for Ethernet support in FRDM-K64F which I have on
my hands now.

The obvious question is what to do in this situation. I'm personally
keen to update
https://wiki.zephyrproject.org/view/Networking-with-Qemu to
describe a setup which actually works now (this is mostly doing
steps in the right order, but also building with
CONFIG_NET_TESTING=n).

I've made first pass of changes to
https://wiki.zephyrproject.org/view/Networking-with-Qemu , ordering
connection bring up steps properly and adding a bit more info here and
there. Going to look into CONFIG_NET_TESTING in more detail before
adding suggestion to disable it in the wiki.
