Events of different type can be pending at the same time. Therefore it is not possible to use ascending identifiers for the presence of a pending event. Rather, each event type has to be represented by one bit. Thes bits ORed identify all types of pending events. In the esp_wifi_isr function all pending events are then handled in one call. Otherwise, some events might be lost.
The option value length of Ethernet addresses can be more than 6 byte in lwIP. Therefore, the max_len parameter is check to be greater than or equal to ETHERNET_ADDR_LEN.
Fixes sporadic blocking of the wifi thread in esp_wifi_recv_cb function under heavy network load conditions when frames are coming in faster than they can be processed. Since esp_wifi_recv_cb function is not executed in interrupt context, the msg_send function used for ISR event can block when the message queue is full. With this change esp_wifi can be flooded with icmpv6 packets of maximum size without any problems over hours.
RX callback function should be register when WiFi has been connected to AP successfully and should be unregistered when WiFi disconnects from AP. Therefore, esp_wifi_internal_reg_rxcb is called now in event handler on event SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_CONNECTED. It is reset now on event SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_DISCONNECTED.
Before function wifi_connect is executed, starting the WiFi driver should have been finished. This is indicated by the WiFi driver by sending event SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_START. Function wifi_connect is moved therefore to the event handler for SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_START.
The size of received and transmitted frames was stored in an uint8_t, which did not allow to process frames larger than 255 octets. However, WiFi has an MTU of 1500 octets.
