I already told you about that. This is exactly the same thing from the 
lwIP point of view or generally speaking for any multithreading 
environment, this is not strictly lwIP-specific. The point is that 
netconn_ functions are not reentrant for -a- UDP or TCP control block, 
so serializing them through a mutex/semaphore from sparse threads will 
work.

But beware of dead locks conditions!, you are going to run a 
mutex/semaphore over a message passing system which of course cause 
contexts switchs (so priority reordering), this requires strict checking 
of any possible locking cases between 3 threads, a mutex/semaphore, and 
a mbox.
