I want to use my OS's TCP/IP stack, and will write my own FW for the ESP8266.
Is SLIP the only way to go or can I find an API for writing directly to the MAC registers in order to send/receive data over the WiFi link and send the raw IP packets up to the host processor to process?

- Mon Jun 01, 2015 6:58 am #19108 I've seen "something" of a mentioning of "wifi" or "wlan" "passthrough spi mode". It looks like that mode will pass raw 802.11 frames over spi, but then they wouldn't be available on the esp itself

Can you please share a link?
Also what would raw 802.11 frames be useful for?
I want to send TCP/IP packets to the esp and have it add the WiFi frames and send it to the air...

I could also use a PPP connection to the esp, if that's possible. Do you have any idea about that?

Thanks!
