I think here is what the previous student Stephanie's work is :
http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2011-dragonfly-bsd/downloads/detail?name=Stephanie_Ouillon.tar.gz&can=2&q=#makechanges

You can get the code and can go through the README, which is very well
written.
I think the network driver had some problems with queuing the data but you
can get more info once you go through it. I am not very sure but it should
be working to some extent.
