I do have two netifs, as mentioned before, I call netif_add/setup twice.
Reading and processing the incoming frames is one thing, sending the
reply back over the same interface is another.

I already bind with sin_addr.s_addr=PP_HTONL(INADDR_ANY),
but this fails on the second bind. Somehow makes sense
as LwIP wouldn't know which one to give an incoming frame. But if the
sockets were netif specific then it would be possible for both netifs to listen
on the same port.

No, this is not a router but our main fieldbus CPU. One interface would be
used for loading, communication, visualisation etc. The other interface
could be used by the customer to access any network device, be it
TCP/IP or Profinet, Modbus, whatever.
The operating system is only open to our customers, sorry. But the
LwIP part is still standard so far. But that may change now.

Thanks
