Magic Packet Command
This command is used by a host to tell the PC4500/4800 to start scanning for magic packets.

PSP Nodes Command
This command is issued by an AP host to indicate to the card that PSP nodes are associated. If PSP nodes
are associated, then broadcast and multicast traffic will be deferred until the DTIM. If PSP nodes are not
associated, then broadcast and multicast traffic will be sent when queued. (Refer to the section on AP
specific information for more detail.)
Allocate Transmit Buffer Command
An allocate command cannot be issued until the previous allocate has completed (i.e. the alloc event has
occurred and the TxAllocFid has been read).
The allocation size is the size of the payload portion of the packet to be transmitted. The payload size
does not include the destination and source addresses.

Transmit Command
The TransmitFID parameter must be a previously allocated transmit buffer, which has been filled in with
the appropriate control fields and the transmit packet (see FID description). Note that a successful
completion of the transmit command (EvStat.Cmd) only indicates that the packet has been queued for
transmission. When the transmission actually completes, the TxControl field of the TransmitFID
controls the action taken. The TransmitFid may be returned to the free pool with no indication, a
successful indication or a failure indication to the host. If the completion is indicated to the host, then the
TransmitFID will be returned in the TxComplFID and the EvStat.Tx indicated if the transmit completed
successfully or the EvStat.TxExc indicated if the transmission was not successful.
Note, well behaved firmware and drivers should never result in any of the transmit commands failing.
