Ethernet5500 v0.5.0

Arduino Ethernet library for boards with the WIZnet W5500 networking chip. Based on the Ethernet3 library developed by sstaub. It is mostly the same initially, though I (jamessynge) have removed most of the README.md and added method EthernetClass::setDhcp(DhcpClass*), which must be called in order to use DHCP to request an address for the Arduino.

Plans

  • Make writing non-blocking by default.
  • Add an DhcpClass& argument to EthernetClass::begin(mac) so that it isn't possible to forget to call setDhcp. The same could be done with EthernetClass::maintain. This could eliminate the _dhcp data member of EthernetClass.

Issues

  • It seems to take two calls to begin(mac) in order to get an address assigned using DHCP. This used to work. What has happened?
