arduino_0017 Ethernet2 lib. It’s a lighterweight and better Ethernet class. Head into your ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries (or Windows equivalent) and checkout the SVN project:

$ svn co http://tinkerit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Ethernet2%20library/Ethernet2

Now change your sketch to use Ethernet2.h instead of Ethernet.h. Wondeful? No. You’ll get this error in 0017.

'EthernetClass' has not been declared

Ok, the forums have a fix. But it didn’t work for the longest time because I didn’t know what they meant by Server.cpp. There’s two of them! The original or the new one?! If you edit the old one you’ll get this:

Print.cpp:129: first defined here

So:

  1. Edit Server.cpp in Ethernet2 to include Ethernet2.h and not Ethernet.h.
  2. Delete the Print.cpp and Print.h files from Ethernet2.
  3. Compile.
  4. Have some yay.
