Components ENC28J60

ENC28J60 is an old, well-established but somewhat quirky 10 Mbps Ethernet chip. It was our choice for the development board mainly due to its low cost and good open source software support. Future boards may use a newer chip if it turns out that faster than 10 Mbps speeds are needed.
