/*! @class IONetworkController
    @abstract Implements the framework for a generic
    network controller.
    @discussion A subclass of IONetworkController must provide
    additional functionality specific for a particular networking type.
    In addition, the driver must implement (override) a basic set of
    hardware dependent methods to create a working driver.

    IONetworkController attaches itself to the data link layer (DLIL) via
    an IONetworkInterface object. A controller object without a companion
    interface is not accessible to the networking system. The controller
    interacts with DLIL by calling methods defined by the interface object.
    And conversely, DLIL will issue commands and packets to the controller
    through the interface object.

    IONetworkController will create an IOCommandGate and attach this
    event source to an IOWorkLoop object. All commands sent from the
    interface object are handled through the IOCommandGate object,
    which will serialize access to the controller. Outbound packets sent
    from the interface to the controller have no implicit serialization.
    Drivers must implement an output function that is thread safe, or use
    an IOOutputQueue object which will provide a serialization model.

	Note: IONetworkController internally uses some private messaging constants
	in the sys_iokit | sub_iokit_networking range defined in
	"IONetworkControllerPrivate.h".	If you create a client for your controller
	(for example an IOUserClient), and it overrides the IOService::message
	method, your client may receive these messages.  It should ignore these
	messages and pass them to super::message()
