Native ethernet broken on Teensy 4.1 starting with version v1.58 #737

The native ethernet library stopped working after upgrading beyond v1.57

Code to reproduce:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <NativeEthernet.h>

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);

void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }
  Serial.println("Ethernet WebServer Example");

  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  uint8_t mac[6];
    for (uint8_t by = 0; by < 2; by++) mac[by] = (HW_OCOTP_MAC1 >> ((1 - by) * 8)) & 0xFF;
    for (uint8_t by = 0; by < 4; by++) mac[by + 2] = (HW_OCOTP_MAC0 >> ((3 - by) * 8)) & 0xFF;
  Ethernet.begin(mac);

  // Check for Ethernet hardware present
  if (Ethernet.hardwareStatus() == EthernetNoHardware) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet shield was not found.  Sorry, can't run without hardware. :(");
    while (true) {
      delay(1); // do nothing, no point running without Ethernet hardware
    }
  }
  if (Ethernet.linkStatus() == LinkOFF) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet cable is not connected.");
  }

MDNS.begin("myteensy", 1);
MDNS.addService("_http._tcp", 80);

  // start the server
  server.begin();
  Serial.print("server is at ");
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}


void loop() {
  // listen for incoming clients
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    Serial.println("new client");
    // an http request ends with a blank line
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();
        Serial.write(c);
        // if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
        // character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
        // so you can send a reply
        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response header
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println("Connection: close");  // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
          client.println("Refresh: 5");  // refresh the page automatically every 5 sec
          client.println();
          client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
          client.println("<html>");
          // output the value of each analog input pin
          for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
            int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
            client.print("analog input ");
            client.print(analogChannel);
            client.print(" is ");
            client.print(sensorReading);
            client.println("<br />");
          }
          client.println("</html>");
          break;
        }
        if (c == '\n') {
          // you're starting a new line
          currentLineIsBlank = true;
        } else if (c != '\r') {
          // you've gotten a character on the current line
          currentLineIsBlank = false;
        }
      }
    }
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(1);
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
    Serial.println("client disconnected");
  }
}

With the ethernet kit connected, I test the webserver using wget:

wget -O - myteensy.local

In earlier versions it works fine. In versions starting from v1.58 this might work on the wirst HTTP request but any further requests are dropped/connection is not established.

The same program works fine with the QNEthernet library. Here's the code with some very minor (indicated) modifications:

// --- NativeEthernet ---
// #include <Arduino.h>  // <-- Don't generally need this in the Arduino IDE
// #include <SPI.h>
// #include <NativeEthernet.h>
// --- QNEthernet ---
#include <QNEthernet.h>
using namespace qindesign::network;

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);

void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }
  Serial.println("Ethernet WebServer Example");

  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  // --- NativeEthernet ---
  // uint8_t mac[6];
  //   for (uint8_t by = 0; by < 2; by++) mac[by] = (HW_OCOTP_MAC1 >> ((1 - by) * 8)) & 0xFF;
  //   for (uint8_t by = 0; by < 4; by++) mac[by + 2] = (HW_OCOTP_MAC0 >> ((3 - by) * 8)) & 0xFF;
  // Ethernet.begin(mac);
  // --- QNEthernet ---
  Ethernet.begin();  // QNEthernet uses the built-in MAC
  Ethernet.waitForLocalIP(30'000);  // Wait for 30 seconds

  // Check for Ethernet hardware present
  if (Ethernet.hardwareStatus() == EthernetNoHardware) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet shield was not found.  Sorry, can't run without hardware. :(");
    while (true) {
      delay(1); // do nothing, no point running without Ethernet hardware
    }
  }
  if (Ethernet.linkStatus() == LinkOFF) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet cable is not connected.");
  }

  // --- NativeEthernet ---
  // MDNS.begin("myteensy", 1);
  // MDNS.addService("_http._tcp", 80);
  // --- QNEthernet ---
  MDNS.begin("myteensy");
  MDNS.addService("_http", "_tcp", 80);

  // start the server
  server.begin();
  Serial.print("server is at ");
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}


void loop() {
  // listen for incoming clients
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    Serial.println("new client");
    // an http request ends with a blank line
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();
        Serial.write(c);
        // if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
        // character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
        // so you can send a reply
        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response header
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println("Connection: close");  // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
          client.println("Refresh: 5");  // refresh the page automatically every 5 sec
          client.println();
          client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
          client.println("<html>");
          // output the value of each analog input pin
          for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
            int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
            client.print("analog input ");
            client.print(analogChannel);
            client.print(" is ");
            client.print(sensorReading);
            client.println("<br />");
          }
          client.println("</html>");
          break;
        }
        if (c == '\n') {
          // you're starting a new line
          currentLineIsBlank = true;
        } else if (c != '\r') {
          // you've gotten a character on the current line
          currentLineIsBlank = false;
        }
      }
    }
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(1);
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
    Serial.println("client disconnected");
  }
}

I'd also make a few other changes, but I wanted to keep the program as similar as possible, for illustration.
