Ethernet on FRDM KL25Z

I recently bought the new Freescale FDRM-KL25Z mbed board. Reading through the ethernet sections however i could not find the ethernet pins on that mbed board.

1: Does this mbed support ethernet ? (directly though the RJ45 Jacks)

2: If it does not support it directly, are there any ethernet shields for this board ?

Thanks!

1. Nop

2. You can plug in the standard arduino ethernet shield, or the simple ENC28J60 boards, which are sold so cheap you cannot even buy an ethernet connector for that money: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-ENC28J60-Ethernet-LAN-Network-Module-For-Arduino-SPI-AVR-PIC-LPC-STM32-/310670027142?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4855606986

Problem: No mbed code for it yet. It was once my plan to look at it, but then I would think it to be nice if it was compatible with the official ethernet/wifly/3g code. Sadly there isn't something like a pure virtual class with functions you have to implement to allow them to be compatible. So at that point I put it on hold and went to do other stuff.

Thanks for your answer. Oh it would have been great if some of the arduino shield drivers were ported to this mbed !
