Write your driver start function.

2.5: Write your driver start function.

This function is called each time the network stack wants to start the transmitter. This occures whenever the network stack adds a packet to a device's send queue and the IFF_OACTIVE bit in the device's if_flags is not set.

For many devices this function need only set the IFF_OACTIVE bit in the if_flags and send an event to the transmit task indicating that a packet is in the driver transmit queue.
