Driver will check first segment's ol_flags when sending mbuf. It will check for *TX* flags. TX flags are not set in cloned mbuf (only RX ones). > So why new first segment didn't inherit old one's ol_flags? Because they are RX flags and they don't' really belong to new packet we are going to send. Also, as that bug shows it is error prone. > This function already copied other mbuf fields from old one.

Surely when user linking two packets manually (as we are doing here) it is his responsibility to update the mbuf fileds properly. I think this is obvious thing and probably already mentioned in the docs.
