On relatively slow boards (such as the MIPS Malta with an FPGA core card) it can be extremely common for transmits to underflow - to the point where it appears they simply do not work at all. Setting the NOUFLO bit causes the ethernet controller to not begin transmission on the wire until a transmit start point is reached. Setting that transmit start point to the full packet will cause the controller to only transmit the packet once it has buffered it entirely thus preventing any transmit underflows from occuring and allowing the controller to function on slower boards.
