:mod:`network` --- network configuration

This module provides network drivers and routing configuration. Network drivers for specific hardware are available within this module and are used to configure a hardware network interface. Configured interfaces are then available for use via the :mod:`socket` module. To use this module the network build of firmware must be installed.

For example:

# configure a specific network interface
# see below for examples of specific drivers
import network
nic = network.Driver(...)
print(nic.ifconfig())

# now use socket as usual
import socket
addr = socket.getaddrinfo('micropython.org', 80)[0][-1]
s = socket.socket()
s.connect(addr)
s.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: micropython.org\r\n\r\n')
data = s.recv(1000)
s.close()
