The main problem with your code isn't finding an example but 
understanding lwIP threading and how not to break it. Please read the 
chapter "Threading" in the doc/rawapi.txt file from the lwIP source 
directory.

Basically, lwIP is not thread-safe except for a very limited subset of 
the APIs and the APIs explicitly meant for multithreading applications. 
All funtions/modules not explicitly listed to be thread-safe must 
neither be called from any other thread than the tcpip_thread nor from 
interrupt context (ISR/DSR)! Having understood this basic requirement is 
crucial to implementing ports (which is what you are doing).

I understand that this requirement is sometimes not easy to follow and 
it took me some, too, to get used to it when starting lwIP, but that's 
the way it is. If our current documentation of this basic requirement 
isn't obvious enough, please do not hesitate to suggest documentation 
improvements, everybody!

Thanks,
Simon
