If the nemo TX entry point it only ever called with one packet at a time then clearly, adding the packet length as an argument would be easy to do; otherwise you're looking at attaching packet metadata to the mblk and that's a whole other can of worms. BTW; if the nemo tx entry point really *is* only ever called with one packet at a time then the drivers TX code could be significantly simplified (since they have to assume a packet chain at the moment).
