I looked at the if_url.c code a little and I couldn't see where the mbufs
were returned to the pool after they were transmitted.  But then since I
have no clue what the whole context is for that driver, they could be
returned somewhere else that I don't know about.

Just for grins I added a conditional m_free in the driver, but it didn't
seem to make any difference.

If anybody can tell me or point me to some information on how that all
fits together, I could poke around in it some more.  Or is there some way
to run the driver in the debugger?

Thanks
