[lwip-users] Re: lwip-users Digest, Vol 31, Issue 15

[Jeffery Du]

Hi,

          Danilo, thank you very much. I'm checking the problem you mentioned. 
But how can I see your 3/1 post? I am a newcomer in this mail list. 
      Kieran, yes, now there are 2 threads access the stack. One is a TX thread 
started from application, another is a RX thread in device driver. You reminded 
me that this infrastructure might cause the problem. I should think it over.
