Re: [lwip-users] Loopback problems

No, you're not wrong. Of course the function is not usable from the netconn 
thread. However, my proposal is not much different to yours: having a flag 
UDP_FLAGS_IS_BROADCAST in the PCB won't help you, either, since that flag is 
not added to the netbuf but only stored in the PCB: it might get deleted by the 
time you received the netbuf...

Therefore, I thought you'd be using the raw API...

BTW: could you please respond in ASCII, not HTML? The font in your responses is 
*very* small sometimes!
