Is it possible to downgrade the netduino3 ethernet to get rid of the new IP stack?

The network adapters in the Netduino 3 WiFi & Netduino 3 Ethernet boards are different from what is in the Netduino Plus 2.

 

  • Netduino 3 Ethernet:  Asix AX88796CLF MAC/PHY chip (10/100 Mbit/s)
  • Netduino 3 WiFi:  Texas Instruments CC3100 (supports up to 802.11n & supports SSL)
  • Netduino Plus 2:  ENC28J60 (only 10 Mbit/s)

Because of this I believe it was necessary for new support to be implemented for the networking hardware in the Netduino 3 boards.

 

In addition, there's been an initiative (coming from the .NET Micro Framework team) to move from the original networking stack to something called Lightweight IP (LWIP).  I believe that much of that has been incorporated into the drivers for the network adapters in the new boards.

 

Anyway, several people (myself included) have noticed that certain network-related things which used to work on the Netduino Plus 2 don't work / don't work properly / don't work the same with the Netduino 3 boards (check other forum postings).

 

There is a GitHub repository (see the link below) which contains the source code for the new network stack.  I would suggest that you could log issues against the repository for the problems that you're seeing.  Maybe we can all work together to get a good work list created.  It's actually possible for members of our community to contribute fixes to that repository.
