I only have a non-answer for you there: I have written such code, but can't
release it at this time due to employer restrictions :( The good news is it
is pretty simple. Of course some adaptation for specific hardware would be
necessary.

There are two answers to this:
1. Although there may be a way to do it from within the admin tool, I
haven't found it. Rename the file to net-1.0b1.tar.gz and:
gunzip < net-1.0b1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
The contents of the directory thus created should be moved into your
packages directory inside the eCos repository
(/c/progra~1/redhat~1/ecos/packages if you installed to the default
location) and you should then use cat or a text editor to append the
"pkgadd.db" file that was extracted from the epk to ecos.db (which is in
the above directory).
2. The 1.3.1 release you're using is pretty old and you might be better off
getting the latest via CVS. However I have had all sorts of problems trying
to do anything "tricky" (like, use the latest CVS code!) using
Cygwin-hosted tools. YMMV.
