Can't think of anything. We had problems in the past with the timing
of the reset line of the MCU, but doesn't look like it.
Other than that, just for networking it also uses threads, but in
NutOS they are not concurrent, they are cooperating threads. This
means one has to yield for the other to run.

Maybe when you don't register the ethernet it will just return sooner
from some calls, could this be a stack problem? Maybe you could use a
higher value in Nut Config.
Does this also happen in Nut OS examples, say the httpd for example?
