4.1) Transmit process

When the driver's transmit routine is called by the kernel, it sets up a

transmit descriptor by calling the underlying DMA transmit routine (SGDMA or

MSGDMA), and initites a transmit operation. Once the transmit is complete, an

The driver will post receive buffers to the receive DMA logic during driver
