        packets delivered to higher layers have the tag stripped.  The controller

	capable of handling packets coming down from the network stack that
	reside in virtually, but not in physically contiguous span of the

	the external mbuf cluster might cross one or more physical pages that
	are disjoint, depending on the interface MTU and the packet size.
	Such a use of larger than system page size clusters by the network
	stack is done for better system efficiency.  Drivers that utilize the

/*! @class IONetworkController
    @abstract Implements the framework for a generic 
    network controller.
    @discussion A subclass of IONetworkController must provide
    additional functionality specific for a particular networking type.
    In addition, the driver must implement (override) a basic set of 
    hardware dependent methods to create a working driver.

    IONetworkController attaches itself to the data link layer (DLIL) via
    an IONetworkInterface object. A controller object without a companion
    interface is not accessible to the networking system. The controller
    interacts with DLIL by calling methods defined by the interface object.
    And conversely, DLIL will issue commands and packets to the controller
    through the interface object.

    IONetworkController will create an IOCommandGate and attach this
    event source to an IOWorkLoop object. All commands sent from the
    interface object are handled through the IOCommandGate object,
    which will serialize access to the controller. Outbound packets sent
    from the interface to the controller have no implicit serialization. 
    Drivers must implement an output function that is thread safe, or use
    an IOOutputQueue object which will provide a serialization model.

	Note: IONetworkController internally uses some private messaging constants
	in the sys_iokit | sub_iokit_networking range defined in 
	"IONetworkControllerPrivate.h".	If you create a client for your controller
	(for example an IOUserClient), and it overrides the IOService::message 
	method, your client may receive these messages.  It should ignore these 
	messages and pass them to super::message()

    removed from the queue are owned by the driver, and should be immediately

    @discussion An attached network interface invokes this method to notify
    the driver about an interface state change or an event from the networking
    stack. The family does not synchronize the call using the driver's work
    loop.
    @param interface The interface that issued the notification.
    @param type The type of notification.
    @param argument Optional data associated with the notification. Can be
    NULL if the notification does not provide in-band data.
    @result Default implementation returns <code>kIOReturnUnsupported</code>.
    Driver should return <code>kIOReturnSuccess</code> if the notification
    was handled.
