I mean that with indirect, we only need one buffer, and we can just wait
for enough space - for this single buffer ( as we discussed a little bit before).
But if indirect buffer is not supported - we need that whole packet must fit
to the size of tx queue - otherwise it never be transmitted.

Thanks, Arseniy
