It's not entirely off topic.  As I understand it the lwBT project provides a 
network interface that uses bluetooth and interfaces to lwIP, allowing lwIP to 
work over bluetooth.  It is effectively a partial port of lwIP.  I looked at it 
a few years ago but not in any detail, mainly just to check that the licence 
being used to distribute the lwIP parts was compatible with lwIP.  My guess is 
that it uses an old version of lwIP, but this may be wrong.  Even if it does I 
expect it wouldn't be hard to update it to the current version.  Sadly it 
doesn't seem to have its own development site, mailing lists, etc, so I'm 
assuming it isn't being actively developed.

It has been discussed here before, although not in any detail, e.g.:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/2008-08/msg00075.html

So to answer the original question as to whether I've heard of lwBT: yes, but 
I've never used it so can't help in any practical way.
