svn commit: r244577 - head/sys/net80211

New Revision: 244577
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/244577

Log:
  if_start() is being used here as a way of kick-starting the new queue
  processing.  For if_transmit() style hardware drivers (which none publicly
  exist yet, for wireless) they will need to still implement if_start()
  but only to re-start the TX queue.
