Hi all,
today i've tryied the path supplied by John Eigelaar and even another 
patch by john (thank you again) on ecos.db to make ethernet support 
package visible inside configtool.
It works like a charm, and tomorrow i'm going to improve throughput 
performance, that is what i really need (any hint on this? on freertos 
i've reach 1mbps max, and i need olso about 30-35k ram free).
Thanks to John Eigelaar and Andrew Lunn for support on this board.
Andrea
