It isn't SPI but serial TTL signal levels.

It was the MCP2510 and then the MCP2515. I regret the day we decided to use
this chip.

can you be more specific?
we use MCP2515 without any problems so far

Speaking of Wi-Fi, an SDIO Wi-Fi card could be a low cost solution
(SDIO is SPI in simple terms). Sandisk and Socket makes such a SDIO
Wi-Fi cards. The major issue here is rather the manufactureres don't
give out the specification of the card.

Someone else working on this (SDIO) topic ?

Tsvetan,
Check out the errata sheet for the MCP2515. The defect that caught our
attension was the one where can not use transmit object 2 or 3 with out
possible loss of data.

It is better to use an LPC2214 or LPC2294 having the external bus but in
the past I made micro web server using a PIC 18F258 interfaced via i/o
pins to a CS8900 (that has a parallel interface) and it worked. You have
to write a function that read/write data to an i/o port emulating a data
bus. Of course you will not have maximum possible performance but always
better then using a serial accessible ethernet controller.
