FIX: A "Data Abort" exception may occur when a device that has an LAN adapter is suspended in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based device.
  • The device has a Local Area Network (LAN) adapter that uses a static IP address.
  • You disable the LAN adapter and then suspend the device.

In this scenario, a "Data Abort" exception may occur in the TCP/IP stack when the device is suspended.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an unnecessary IP interface de-reference operation.
