177 @constant IFNET_IPV6_FRAGMENT Hardware will fragment IPv6 packets.
178 @constant IFNET_VLAN_TAGGING Hardware will generate VLAN headers.
179 @constant IFNET_VLAN_MTU Hardware supports VLAN MTU.
180 @constant IFNET_MULTIPAGES Driver is capable of handling packets
181 coming down from the network stack that reside in virtually,
182 but not in physically contiguous span of the external mbuf
183 clusters. In this case, the data area of a packet in the
184 external mbuf cluster might cross one or more physical
185 pages that are disjoint, depending on the interface MTU
186 and the packet size. Such a use of larger than system page
187 size clusters by the network stack is done for better system
188 efficiency. Drivers that utilize the IOMbufNaturalMemoryCursor
189 with the getPhysicalSegmentsWithCoalesce interfaces and
190 enumerate the list of vectors should set this flag for
191 possible gain in performance during bulk data transfer.
192 @constant IFNET_TSO_IPV4 Hardware supports IPv4 TCP Segment Offloading.
193 If the Interface driver sets this flag, TCP will send larger frames (up to 64KB) as one
194 frame to the adapter which will perform the final packetization. The maximum TSO segment
195 supported by the interface can be set with "ifnet_set_tso_mtu". To retreive the real MTU
196 for the TCP connection the function "mbuf_get_tso_requested" is used by the driver. Note
197 that if TSO is active, all the packets will be flagged for TSO, not just large packets.
198 @constant IFNET_TSO_IPV6 Hardware supports IPv6 TCP Segment Offloading.
199 If the Interface driver sets this flag, TCP IPv6 will send larger frames (up to 64KB) as one
200 frame to the adapter which will perform the final packetization. The maximum TSO segment
201 supported by the interface can be set with "ifnet_set_tso_mtu". To retreive the real MTU
202 for the TCP IPv6 connection the function "mbuf_get_tso_requested" is used by the driver.
203 Note that if TSO is active, all the packets will be flagged for TSO, not just large packets.
204 @constant IFNET_TX_STATUS Driver supports returning a per packet
205 transmission status (pass, fail or other errors) of whether
206 the packet was successfully transmitted on the link, or the
207 transmission was aborted, or transmission failed.

718 employ additional serializations if this callback routine is
719 to be called directly from another context, in order to prevent
720 race condition related issues (e.g. out-of-order packets.)

1199 @function ifnet_allocate
1200 @discussion Allocate an ifnet_t with an initial refcount of 1. Many
1201 parts of the stack do not properly refcount the ifnet_t. In
1202 order to avoid freeing the ifnet_t while some parts of the stack
1203 may contain a reference to it, the ifnet_ts are only recycled,
1204 never freed. A unique id is used to try and recycle the same
1205 ifnet_t when allocating an interface. For example, for an
1206 ethernet interface, the hardware address of the ethernet card is
1207 usually used for the uniqueid. If a PC Card is removed and
1208 inserted again, if the ethernet address of the PC card is used,
1209 the same ifnet_t will be used for the card the second time it is
1210 inserted. In the future, when the ifnet_t is correctly
1211 refcounted by all of the stack, the interfaces may be freed and

3377 @param frames_array An array of ifnet_keepalive_offload_frame
3378 structs. This is allocated by the caller, and has
3379 frames_array_count frames of valid memory.
3380 @param frames_array_count The number of valid frames allocated
3381 by the caller in frames_array
3382 @param frame_data_offset The offset in bytes into each frame data
3383 at which the IPv4/IPv6 packet and payload should be written
3384 @param used_frames_count The returned number of frames that were
3385 filled out with valid information.

3419 Allows a driver to specify a leading space to be
3420 reserved in front of the link layer header.
3421 The preamble is logically adjoining the link layer which
3422 itself is logically contiguous to the network protocol header
3424 There is no guarantee that packets being sent to the
3425 driver has leading space reserved for the preamble.
3426 There is also no guarantee the packet will be laid out in a
3427 contiguous block of memory.
3428 The network protocol header is 32 bit aligned and this dictates
3429 the alignment of the link layer header which in turn affects
3430 the alignment the packet preamble.

3432 must not call this function on an interface the kext does not
