JJJ - we've been working with the NETMF team to get bugfixes into the 4.3 core over the last year. Some of those made it in time for QFE1 (including the critical interop bugfix). Some of them will be rolled into new NETMF and/or Netduino firmware releases.
Hi Kip,
I sat down with the program manager for NETMF in Seattle two weeks ago, to discuss progress on NETMF 4.3 QFE1.
QFE1 is getting closer; we're all pretty excited to move over the NETMF 4.3 core.
Speaking of 4.3...we have a few surprises in store, once NETMF 4.3 QFE1 ships. We've been busy this year, especially in the software department. Quite a few community members have been contributing behind the scenes too. We should have lots of love and kudos to share in the near future.

BugVito -- what issues are you experiencing? We're actively tracking and fixing bugs for Netduino Plus 2. Right now the only critical issues we have in our tracking system are related to the .NET MF 4.3 beta.
3103BC68CC83, cranberry, m.lai -- the Netduino 4.3 beta 1 firmware is release-ready. We're just waiting on .NET MF 4.3 QFE1 (with two critical bugfixes) from Microsoft, and then we can just plug in our existing source and we should be ready to move to RTM. We're really looking forward to this production-ready version of NETMF 4.3.
JJJ -- the newer version of lwIP in NETMF 4.3 is the #1 reason we're excited to upgrade from 4.2. It includes a lot of bugfixes to the lwIP networking stack. We're using .NET MF 4.3 in commercial products here at Secret Labs so testing and bugfixes we make on those will continue to benefit Netduino in many ways as well.

Thank you Chris.
So what do you suggest: to start using 4.3 beta1 in a commercial product or to wait the RTM one (with the QFE1)?
As you understood my main problem is only the lwIP reliability, the board is perfect for the commercial/industrial use.
Chris, when can we expect the QFE1? Why does it take so long? Are you waiting for Microsoft to release something?
Please let us know something.
Yes, please let us know.
You know that the 4.2 network layer is not completely reliable. We really want to use NP2 plus in business environment, but it's not possible right now without LWIP.
