Hm, strange, according to ethernet and the nichestack tcp/ip

stack - nios ii edition manual (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52013.pdf) pages 11-4 and 11-5 I need to run alt_iniche_init() and netmain(), then wait for iniche_net_ready. This should initialize the stack. I use the same steps in my code. What is really strange - ping does work, so the stack works and ICMP works... I suppose ARP partialy also works, because if I change the IP in the stack, it is found by ping easily on the next software upload (ip is changed, arp should tell the new ip address).

Anyway, thanks for pointers, I am checking.
