The DEUNA supports buffer chaining, an Ethernet frame can be stored in a set of chained buffers.
2.11BSD doesn't use this feature, it always uses buffers large enough for a maximal size Ethernet frame.
However, DEC OS use buffer chaining.
The current backend doesn't support buffer chaining. No problem with 2.11BSD.
But this limitation prevents usage of Ethernet connectivity in DEC OS.
