.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Queue a buffer for transmission to a network device. The caller must
have set the device and priority and built the buffer before calling
this function. The function can be called from an interrupt.
.PP
A negative errno code is returned on a failure. A success does not
guarantee the frame will be transmitted as it may be dropped due
to congestion or traffic shaping.
