Hi, from the ethernetif.c skeleton file, the comment to low_level_output(): > * @note Returning ERR_MEM here if a DMA queue of your MAC is full can lead to > * strange results.

I didn't understand the effects of returning ERR_MEM. Trying to backtrack through the functions that call netif->linkoutput(), I got lost in the graph. What would be the correct thing to return when there is no buffering space available in the driver and it is not possible (or not convenient) to wait? And what would be the negative effect of returning ERR_MEM and dropping the packet?
