BufferSizeThe size, in bytes, of the entire packet (media header and data) to be transmitted through the network interface.
BufferA pointer to the packet (media header followed by data) to be transmitted. This parameter cannot be NULL. If HeaderSize is zero, then the media header in Buffer must already be filled in by the caller. If HeaderSize is non-zero, then the media header will be filled in by the Transmit() function.
SrcAddrThe source HW MAC address. If HeaderSize is zero, then this parameter is ignored. If HeaderSize is non-zero and SrcAddr is NULL, then This->Mode->CurrentAddress is used for the source HW MAC address.

Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe packet was placed on the transmit queue.
EFI_NOT_STARTEDThe network interface has not been started.
EFI_NOT_READYThe network interface is too busy to accept this transmit request.

◆ EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_RECEIVE

Receives a packet from a network interface.

Parameters
ThisThe protocol instance pointer.

ProtocolThe media header type. If this parameter is NULL, then the protocol will not be extracted from the media header. See RFC 1700 section "Ether Types" for examples.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe received data was stored in Buffer, and BufferSize has been updated to the number of bytes received.
EFI_NOT_STARTEDThe network interface has not been started.
