Research direction

Locate the raw lwIP transmit path that calls HAL_ETH_Transmit_IT() and compare it with the surrounding HAL Ethernet handling. Confirm how PacketAddress[] is populated and whether the synchronous transmit path avoids the missing HAL_ETH_ReleaseTxPacket() calls. Done means raw lwIP transmission no longer hangs as PacketAddress[] entries become non-NULL.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Plz replace HAL_ETH_Transmit_IT() with HAL_ETH_Transmit() for applications using raw lwip api.

Currently, since there is no explicit call to HAL_ETH_ReleaseTxPacket(), all elements in the PacketAddress[] array will become non-NULL eventually, causing the transmission process to hang indefinitely.
