You absolutely cannot do this.

You must document what the bits in the TX descriptor config field
mean, all of them.

I bet there is a bit in there somewhere which tells the chip to signal
an interrupt when the packet has been sent.

But since you haven't documented the descriptor fields properly with
a full set of macro defines, we can't know what bit that is.

I really am very disappointed in the quality of this driver, and you
can expect that there will be a lot of push back and requests for
changes before this driver will be even close to being ready for
inclusion.
