TCP connet Net Shell function seems to not working when using NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD

[ASSigma]

Describe the bug
tcp connect seems to call net_context_offloading API functions even for aplications with NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD that leads to fall to simplelink_dummy_get handler.

To Reproduce
1.) build project for CC3220SF with CONFIG_NET_SHELL=y and CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD=y
2.) connect with serial terminal
3.) connect to wifi
3.) Invoke: net tcp connect your_server_adress your_server_port
4.) watch error messages

Expected behavior
Established tcp connection

Screenshots or console output
net tcp connect 192.128.0.101 4444
Connecting from 10.67.36.145:0 to 192.128.0.101:4444
Cannot get TCP context (-1)
uart:~$ [01:14:31.763,244] wifi_simplelink: NET_SOCKET_OFFLOAD must be configured for this driver
[01:14:31.763,244] wifi_simplelink: NET_SOCKET_OFFLOAD must be configured for this driver

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• gnuarmemb
• c2bea66

The net-shell is still using net_context API to connect TCP. The net_context API does not support socket offloading so you see the error. The plan is to convert net-shell to use BSD socket interface eventually but we are not yet there. If you have spare time, patches are welcome to fix this.

@vanti, @GAnthony : FYI

Going through old issues. This is a good candidate for closing. Can be re-opened if really needed.

Hi, I am having the same Problem. I wanted to use zperf on a CC3235 and ran into this.
