For many modules the `Makefile` contains a line like
```
MODULE:=$(shell basename $(CURDIR))
```
This conclusively shows that we do not have to set the module name
manually.
This PR removes the need to set the module name manually, if it is the
same as the basename. E.g. for `…/sys/vtimer/Makefile` the variable
make `MODULE` will still be `vtimer`, because it is the basename of the
Makefile.
In the current implementation the data offset is coded into an uint8_t.
Of this uint8_t only 3 bits apply for the data offset.
The remaining bits represent reserved flags for future use.
However, a proper bit masking is forgotten in order
to obtain the data offset part of this uint8_t.
Therefore, defining this uint8_t as a bit field allows a more convenient
method of access.
When accessing the length field of an ipv6_header a byte order switch (host -> network) is necessary.
Otherwise, it breaks calculations or the checksum and other tcp related computations.
Furthermore, when writing to ipv6_header->length it is important to switch this
from host byte order to network byte order.
send_tcp returns either the length of the sent data,
or -1, if an error was detected.
The current implementation checks for != 1.
This results in executing the error case, although
there was semantically no error returned from send_tcp.
This enum is also used to set the tcp flags within a tcp header.
With the current values in this enum, wireshark is not able to
recognize the tcp segments as their actual tcp type,
and thus odd messages in wireshark appear.
destiny: reusing tcp flags for combinations
get_socket(i) returns NULL, when no specific socket is found.
Without an appropriate check for NULL, the current state
of the code leads to a segfault.
destiny: added parens
destiny: continuing the loop makes more sense than returning at first sight of NULL
All other layers in the network stack use a msg_queue to not drop messages, which in this context represent packages.
This finally fixes the random crashes when UDP network traffic is present. Turns out RIOT is not handling lost messages well.
