The W5100S Ethernet chip has only 4 hardware sockets. On RAK4631
Ethernet gateways with syslog and NTP enabled, all 4 sockets were
permanently consumed (NTP UDP + Syslog UDP + TCP API listener + TCP
API client), leaving none for MQTT, DHCP lease renewal, or additional
TCP connections.
- NTP: Remove permanent timeClient.begin() at startup; NTPClient::update()
auto-initializes when needed. Add timeClient.end() after each query to
release the UDP socket immediately.
- Syslog: Remove socket allocation from Syslog::enable(). Open and close
the UDP socket on-demand in _sendLog() around each message send.
- MQTT: Fix socket leak in isValidConfig() where a successful test
connection was never closed (PubSubClient destructor does not call
disconnect). Add explicit pubSub->disconnect() before returning.
