Check to make sure that ethernet packet reception is disabled when you leave the init() function, and doesn't get enabled until the _open() function is called. You might have to actually do work to disable it if the bootloader already enabled things... First you could use some flags and printks to see whether the crash is really due to early packets, as I suspect. -- .....................................................................
