seems to work like a tag that indicates 'not list end' of queued frames. Without having a VGE_TXDESC_Q bit indicates 'list end'. So the last frame of multiple queued frames has no VGE_TXDESC_Q bit. The hardware has peculiar behavior for VGE_TXDESC_Q bit handling. If the VGE_TXDESC_Q bit of descriptor was set the controller would fetch next descriptor. However if next descriptor's OWN bit was cleared but VGE_TXDESC_Q was set, it could confuse controller. Clearing VGE_TXDESC_Q bit for transmitted frames ensure correct behavior.
