Are there any other devices on the network? I'd expect your hardware is
too slow to keep up with full wire speed receiving and that's what you
get with a hub when there are many devices talking over the net (as with
a hub you get *every* packet, not only broadcast packets like you do
with a switch).
If you want to be able to work on a hub, you should try to filter out
packets that are not for you as quickly as possible. Most MACs have a
filter that only lets broadcast packets or packets with a specific
target MAC to the driver and discards all others. Enabling that should
give the same result with a hub and a switch.
Aside from that, there are no specific issues known for lwIP with a hub,
but any problem you have appears more often the more packets you
receive, I guess.

Hi,
I'm devloping ethernet to serial converter using lwip 1.3.0.
When I'm using with a network switch, it connect fine and data
transfer can do more than a week without any interruption.
But when I plug it in to network hub, 10BaseT or 100BaseT (10BaseT is
the worse), I got lots of problem. transmission delays, connection
dropping from both lwip side and PC side. PC side i'm using TDI client
driver. When use with network hub, the error starting to occurred
within under 10 mins.
When i capture the packets with wireshark, I got many retransmission
packets sometime 4-5 retransmission.
Can anyone suggest, how can I debug the issue or is there any known
issue related to this?
Thank you very much in advance.
