It needs to be scanned by GC. Thanks to Daniel Campora.
2014-12-04stmhal: Overhaul network drivers; has generic network protocol in C.Damien George
This patch overhauls the network driver interface. A generic NIC must provide a set of C-level functions to implement low-level socket control (eg socket, bind, connect, send, recv). Doing this, the network and usocket modules can then use such a NIC to implement proper socket control at the Python level. This patch also updates the CC3K and WIZNET5K drivers to conform to the new interface, and fixes some bugs in the drivers. They now work reasonably well.
2014-09-30stmhal: Add network and usocket module.Damien George
As per issue #876, the network module is used to configure NICs (hardware modules) and configure routing. The usocket module is supposed to implement the normal Python socket module and selects the underlying NIC using routing logic. Right now the routing logic is brain dead: first-initialised, first-used. And the routing table is just a list of registered NICs. cc3k and wiznet5k work, but not at the same time due to C name clashes (to be fixed). Note that the usocket module has alias socket, so that one can import socket and it works as normal. But you can also override socket with your own module, using usocket at the backend.
