For received packets, an status of NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES means we need to copy the packet data and return the ndis_packet to the driver immediatel. NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means we get to hold onto the packet, but we have to set the status to NDIS_STATUS_PENDING so the driver knows we're going to hang onto it for a while. For transmit packets, NDIS_STATUS_PENDING means the driver will asynchronously return the packet to us via the ndis_txeof() routine, and NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means the driver sent the frame, and NDIS (i.e. the OS) retains ownership of the packet and can free it right away. |
