43 /** Called by WHD to pass received data to the network stack
44  *
45  *
46  * Packets received from the Wi-Fi network by WHD are forwarded to by calling function ptr which
47  * must be implemented in the network interface. Ethernet headers
48  * are present at the start of these packet buffers.
49  *
50  * This function is called asynchronously in the context of the
51  * WHD thread whenever new data has arrived.
52  * Packet buffers are allocated within WHD, and ownership is transferred
53  * to the network stack. The network stack or application is thus
54  * responsible for releasing the packet buffers.
55  * Most packet buffering systems have a pointer to the 'current point' within
56  * the packet buffer. When this function is called, the pointer points
57  * to the start of the Ethernet header. There is other inconsequential data
58  * before the Ethernet header.
59  *
60  * It is preferable that the (whd_network_process_ethernet_data)() function simply puts
61  * the received packet on a queue for processing by another thread. This avoids the
62  * WHD thread being unnecessarily tied up which would delay other packets
63  * being transmitted or received.
64  *
65  * @param interface : The interface on which the packet was received.
66  * @param buffer : Handle of the packet which has just been received. Responsibility for
67  * releasing this buffer is transferred from WHD at this point.
