This library contains an incredibly minimal version of TCP/IP, that can only handle version basic functions. It was designed to be used with the ATMEGA168, which is an 8-bit microcontroller with only 1kB of RAM and 16kB of programme memory.

In contrast the ESP8266 has far more RAM and as much as 4Mb of programme memory. This means it is capable of running a far more fully featured IP stack - typically LwIP.

I have never tried it, but you might want to try something like this, which adds ENC28J60 support to LwIP on ESP8266:
