Yup, it's a known issue, it should only happen during initial negotiation when it's sending the early dhcp exchange and those frames are marked as "please tell me what happened with them." Later frames are handled completely in firmware and we don't get or need per-frame completion information. I'll go sit down and finish cleaning that up shortly. It's harmless, just a reminder that the code path needs converting to the newer world order. -a On Wed, 8 Apr 2026 at 13:53, J.R.
