Miller" Cc: linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Alan Ott Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 10:00:56 -0400 Use netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() to control the flow of packets to mac802154 devices. Since many IEEE 802.15.4 devices have no output buffer, and since the mac802154 xmit() function is designed to block, netif_stop_queue() is called after each packet.
