Open Source ESP32 WiFi MAC .......

Interesting.  I can see where it would be nice to be able to tweak some of the wifi stack behaviors.  I'm not a huge fan of Rust in this case, but at least it lays the groundwork for someone to do a pure C version that is more generally useful to people who don't have a Rust codebase.

I have been doing a lot of esp8266 web rest stuff the last few years.  I recently am trying to get esp32 to work with my code and its been a lot of non-fun dealing with esp32.

esp8266 just plain works, its stable and I have devices that stay online (pingable, get'able) for months and even more than a year of uptime.  cant say anything like that about esp32.

and now there's a new 'boards manager' for it.

just not happy that esp32 is too much of a moving target.  I get why they update things but each major update breaks too much existing library and example code.  very unprofessional.

so far, for things I need to work its the old esp8266 for me.  wemos d1 most often.
