#86379 No, an ESP8266 is not a network adapter, it's a micro controller with a radio and a WiFi stack.

Hmmm well, it's nothing to fight over with.
In my opinion it could better be compared to a (albeit wireless) serial modem with in its default state some kind of Hayes AT command set, whereas a true network adapter is connected to some kind of high speed bus (PCI, USB, ...)

I guess the truth is somewhere in between. ;)
