No problem.

What happens when you set ethact to 1 first?



'1' literal does not seem to do something so I guess it is meant the id of
the first ethernet interface:

Yes, I misspoke sorry.

  From power-on:

Again, from power-on:

So then yes, the second interface works when ethact is set to use that
directly. This is the same behavior as the legacy stack I believe.


Legacy stack does actually rotate and complete successfully when ethact 
environment variable does not exist and (eventually) configure the second 
interface though. Here with LwIP the procedure fails.

Notice that here it starts with ethernet@16030000, then rotates to 
ethernet@16040000 unsuccessfully, and back again to ethernet@16030000 before 
(again) failing and giving up. There is a network cable plugged into 
'ethernet@16040000' port and if we try the command again the environment 
variable ethact retained 'ethact=ethernet@16040000' from the failed procedure 
so you're right it works as it should... except that it totally failed to do 
what was expected the first time.

That's unexpected indeed.

Is this exposing a problem with this board network driver and behavior or is it 
something with LwIP ?
Hard to tell at this point. One thing I know for sure is that lwIP expects
eth_set_current() (called from do_dhcp()) to actually pick a valid
interface if there is one. So it should definitely select ethernet@16040000
in your scenario. Adding debug prints to eth_set_current(),
eth_current_changed() etc. should help.

Thanks,
