Yes, but there are some known difficulties due to the lack of any locking
between the two uses (at the very least imagine what happens if you stop it
actually within the ethernet driver); and what happens to timeouts, and
incoming packets destined for the eCos side that will get received even
though the system is ostensibly meant to be stopped.

If you do do this, it's best not to let the eCos stack be particularly
active at the time.
