Well, i'm having to some work with network on linux, and i also 
noticed this part for transmit; but the PC i am working on, uses
a  WD80x3 card (using the wd.c driver), and as it seems the transmit function
is wd_block_output; but where are between the dev->hard_start_xmit
and the wd_block_ouptut?? 
I haven't it out for the moment.
