Your problem here is not that bytes and words are the same size, but
that u8_t is not an octet.  lwIP assumes this, and probably also assumes
that u16_t is two octets.

To use lwIP you would need to change all (or at least most) of the
places where it uses u8_t to use a u16_t instead, and pack octet values
into the u16_t appropriately.  There has been some talk a while ago of
having lwIP access all header fields through macros so that this sort of
change would be easier to do, but it's a big job and I don't think
anyone wants to do it.
