Ethernet - what's the latest and greatest?

Hi all!

I've seen @ke4pjw mention the W6100 recently.

Is that still the go-to choice for adding an ethernet socket to a P1 or P2 board ?
Are there other choices to consider ?

    I still like it. I wish the UDP performance was better, but it is what it is. TCP performance is fine and it works great for a webserver. I love the fact it has 8 sockets available. The datasheet is a dream, as it allows a poor coder such as myself to create a functional driver in spin2.

    For most cases, using the SPI interface is great.

    As I recall, @Rayman got Wiznet's driver working with Flexprop.

    I know that others have been able to get ethernet and UDP working, but I have only seen full TCP/IP working on various Wiznet chips with the P1 and P2.

    For continuous data/control applications ManAtWork did a 100Mb/s RMII driver using two cogs, with optional UDP/ARP function in a third cog.
