Details:

lwip_send() takes the 'size' parameter as 'int' where as
netconn_write(..,u16_t size,..) and 
tcp_enqueue(..,u16_t len,..)

takes it as unsigned short or u16_t. This results in truncating the data
block size if the data size is greater than 2^16. (On a architecture where
short is 16 bit)

Is there any reason for keeping the 'size' as u16_t in the netconn and tcp
functions?
