 *
 * The data are copied in the buffer given by the application to RNET
 * via this rnet_recv function.
 *
 * Datagram oriented (UDP)
 * -----------------------
 * When an UDP datagram arrives, the receiver application receives
 * a T_RNET_RECV_IND message. The application can then read the
 * datagram with the rnet_recv function. The buffer passed to the
 * function should be big enough to contain a UDP datagram, otherwise
 * the message is not put in the buffer and the error code
 * RNET_MSG_SIZE is returned.
 *
 * The OUT value of the len_p parameter can have two possible values:
 * - If there was data to read and no error detected (function
 *   returned RNET_OK), len_p contains the size of the received datagram.
 * - If there was no error, but no data to read, len_p contains 0.
 *
 * RNET will only send a new T_RNET_RECV_IND with a specific descriptor
 * when a rnet_recv function has been called that returned a len_p parameter
 * with a 0 value. Therefore, the application should loop on rnet_recv when
 * it receives a T_RNET_RECV_IND message, like:
 *    UINT16 *len_p = -1;
 *    while (*len_p != 0) {
 *      ret = rnet_recv(desc, buff, len_p);
 *      ...
 *    }
 *
 * Stream oriented (TCP)
 * ---------------------
 * When a new stream of data arrives on a connection, the receiver
 * application receives a T_RNET_RECV_IND. It can then read the flow
 * with the rnet_recv function, until the len_p parameter is returned
 * with a 0 value.
 *
 * The stack will only send a new T_RNET_RECV_IND message when
 * rnet_recv has been called and has returned the len_p parameter with a 0.
