You said earlier that you were getting an ERR_RTE when trying to
connect.  Are you now saying that you don't get this error when trying
to connect and tcp_connect is returning ERR_OK?   If you're still seeing
a routing error at connection time it would be useful to see the source
to your netif_ethernet_open() function

Look at the return value of tcp_write() and wait for your client_sent
function to be called.
