I never really got a answer to that, so i just hacked the needed mbufs
to getter and passed them to the ethernet layer. Since rtems has a flat
memoryspace this was rather easy done ( especially since the data i
needed to send was single IPX frame based ).

Probably not really the answer you where looking for but thats the best
i can do at the moment :-)
