Network driver questions  
Hello List,

Can somebody please tell me what is a driver expected to do in case it receives a DCMD_IO_NET_CHANGE_MCAST devctl from 
io-net? What are the parameters passed to the network driver? Does it need to send something on the wire?

Secondly, what is the difference between the following two methods:

ion->tx_done
ion->reg_tx_done

TIA,

Dan
RE: Network driver questions  
Take a look at the sys/io-net.h file and you will see an
_io_net_msg_mcast structure. This is what is passed to the driver from
io-net. The driver doesn't have to send out any message.

ion->tx_done is called when a packet has been transmitted.
ion->reg_tx_done is called to register a driver with io-net.
