[ECOS] TCP/IP and rom startup mode

[Fano Ramparany <Fano dot Ramparany at rd dot francetelecom dot fr>]

I'm using TCP/IP stack in a client application running on eCos (the
server runs
on a unix workstation). When running the client in "RAM startup" mode
(mode for debugging) everything works fine.
When running it in "ROM startup" mode I've noticed the following
problems:
1- it takes about one minute for the function
"init_all_network_interfaces" to complete.
  whereas in "RAM startup" mode although it takes some time for gdb to
download
  the client code on the board,  once done,
"init_all_network_interfaces" completes
  immediately.
2- I can establish a socket connection with the bootp server (the
argument
  of the tcpconnection function) only. If I my server runs on another
unix workstation,
  my client can't connect to it

Does this ring a bell to someone? or do you have any hint on how to
solve those
problems?

I'm working with eCos 23 march 2001 snapshot, on a EDB7212 board.

Thanks in advance for your help.
