You're right Simon. Enabling the second interface there made things
work (to some extent).

However, I'm facing a new problem now.

Previously I was using only a single interface (the Linux tap0
device). I have implemented a DHCP server which was working fine until
I enabled the SECOND INTERFACE.

Now, my socket writes on the first interface (the tap0 interface) have
started failing! That is, without changing _any_ code! :( The return
value of sendto is coming as '-1' and the error string is set to 'No
error'. Actually this problem starts even if I don't enable support
for eth1 in the lwIP config. Just enabling the second interface under
"Common ethernet support -> Synthetic target ethernet driver" causes
this problem to surface.

Any clues as to what could be going wrong?

I've tried using the second interface with static IP as well as DHCP.
There's no issues here. DHCP client also works fine and configures
this interface with the right IP addr.

Thanks,
