 * \class CsmaNetDevice

 *
 * The Csma net device class is analogous to layer 1 and 2 of the
 * TCP stack. The NetDevice takes a raw packet of bytes and creates a
 * protocol specific packet from them. The Csma net device class
 * takes this packet and adds and processes the headers/trailers that
 * are associated with EthernetV1, EthernetV2, RAW or LLC
 * protocols. The EthernetV1 packet type adds and removes Ethernet
 * destination and source addresses. The LLC packet type adds and
 * removes LLC snap headers. The raw packet type does not add or
 * remove any headers.  Each Csma net device will receive all
 * packets written to the Csma link. The ProcessHeader function can
 * be used to filter out the packets such that higher level layers
 * only receive packets that are addressed to their associated net
 * devices
