> The current controller code allocates mbufs for reception. During the unplugfest it was noted that is was fairly easy to overload the host/controller with packets. A probably better way to implement this is to have a global receive buffer and we copy out into a mbuf if needed. Note that the transmit portion of the controller already uses a global buffer for transmission.
