Hi!

	I am writing an Ethernet driver and when I give the following
command to test the transmit function, I find that the start function is
getting called twice.
Is something wrong going out there because e of which it is getting
called twice or it is correct.

Regards

Client# ping -c 1 192.168.4.92
PING 192.168.4.92 (192.168.4.92): 56 data bytes
Start getting called
Going out of start
Mar 18 19:34:51 Client /netbsd: Start getting called
Mar 18 19:34:51 Client /netbsd: Going out of start

Make sure you have ifp->if_ioctl set to a callout in
your driver which calls ether_ioctl() by default.
ether_ioctl() sets ifp->if_sadl when handling SIOCSIFADDR.
