Hello,
	After messing with the driver code it seems that polling is used to 
receive packets but direct function calls are used used to transmit 
them.  (e1000_xmit_frame or the e1000_tx_pqueue variant).  So if you 
have a device with 256 descriptors then you would copy some number of 
descriptors into the ring and then call e1000_tx_eob (when BURST number 
of packets is reached), right?
