Does it have to be documented in ethernetif.c? Why would you call
tcp_input
more than once? That would mean you would call tcp_input (or maybe
netif->input)
from your netif->output function (which may be called in tcp_input).
That is
not allowed in RAW mode (API mode puts that packet on a queue only, so
the function
is not really called again). This is documented, for example in
loopif.c. Maybe
it should be documented better...
