mac_link state

[raghu]

Hello,

1) Is it true that even after specifying mac_link_update(adapter->mach, LINK_STATE_UNKNOWN), ethernet driver xmit routine can still get packets from stack. Application I am using is netperf.
2) Will it not create any problem for OS like creating backpressure in its Queues because I keep getting mbufs even after indicating LINK_STATE_UNKOWN and I return those mbufs from xmit. All these packets may end up in OS Queues.
3) Is there any thing more to stop getting packets apart from doing LINK_STATE_UNKNOWN/DOWN.

Thanks
Raghu.
