[En-Nut-Discussion] Problems with TCP-Sendbuffer size(?)

[Klaus Kloos]

Hello Ole

Thanks for your fast answer

>> Ive got a running project (Sam7ek) connected directly by ethernet.
>> Now a wiz610 WLAN<>LAN bridge comes in between and Ive got a problem when sending more than ca. 512 Bytes using an telnet-connection and fputs() from the ethernut side. 
>> NutSleep() and NutYield() do not help. The sleeping-time is spend before sending the first signs other the net.
>> If I send smaller pieces everything seems fine. After ethernut has crashed I can see 512 send bytes on my PC side of the telnet connection.

Im aware of this ... no allocation on my side. Im only using fputs()....

fflush() does help a bit. Now I get more bytes transfered. But after sending 1005Bytes ethernut does not respond to anything.
How do i find out if this is a stack-problem?

>> Im using NutOS 4.8.9 up to now, because using 4.10rc1 ive got a problem with getting the IP-adress with or without DHCP using the tcps demo.
>> This has been changed, but I was not able to find out the problem with my board. Even when I used this part from my working 4.8.9 project the 4.10 version does not get an IP-adress.

This one is found.
The configurator was set to AT91SAM7X_EK but under device-driver->non volatile memory I have to set 'at91 on chip flash' by hand to get it working.
