[En-Nut-Discussion] NutRegisterDevice() doesn't yield?

[steve]

Hi,

  I'm using

   NutRegisterDevice(&DEV_ETHER, 0x8300, 5);

  in a thread spawned by main() but it appears not to yield the processor
  while it operates.  If an ethernet cable is not plugged in then this locks
  the system until the watchdog times out.

  Is this the case or am I missing something and is there a work round?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

Kind Regards,
Steve.
