Once the transmit is complete, an +MSGDMA), and initiates a transmit operation. Once the transmit is complete, an interrupt is driven by the transmit DMA logic. The driver handles the transmit completion in the context of the interrupt handling chain by recycling resource required to send and track the requested transmit operation. 4.2) Receive process The driver will post receive buffers to the receive DMA logic during driver -intialization.
