The old values were much too small and the current ones are probably to
large but the TCP send throuhgput has increased noticeable (a few MiB/s
on the Pandaboard).
Fixes#343.
The new version works fine but there is an issue with connect()
that needs the included patch:
There is no actual handling of EALREADY in lwip. It sets errno
to EALREADY when the connection was established. Unfortunatly this
is really bad because most programs expect to receive errno EISCONN
if the connection was successfully established. So this behaviour
breaks Qt4 and several noux/net packages (like lynx) because those
programs end up in an endless loop trying to connect via an already
connected socket. The longterm solution would be fixing the wrong
behaviour in lwip (there are already bug-reports on lwip's mailinglist)
but for now, it works well enough to simple change lwip's err_to_errno
table to set errno to EISCONN when the connection was established.
