With my small play with lwip I could configure it with a hook like pfinet, but inbound traffic didn't work and beyond DNS resolution and a simple ping, outbound didn't work either. I did notice the MTU was 552 which is stupid small, but anything bigger and nothing worked. So I didn't add anything to the branch for it. > > Also, of course, I'll work on the ethernet headers. > Great! Thanks Roy
