I'm wondering if someone with a bit more hardware experience with ethernet controllers would mind sanity checking this observation: The docs for ifnet_output_raw() in kpi_interface.h say that the (mbuf_t) packet passed to the routine will be freed in the event of an error. Looking through IONetworkController::outputPacket() and BCM440X::outputPacket() it looks like even if there *isn't* an error the packet will be freed (in the case of noErr on a real controller the packet is put onto the ethernet ring buffer and then freed after transmission during serviceTxInterrupt()). Am I interpreting the source correctly and should the docs for kpi_interface.h be updated to reflect this? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
