 * This is a workaround for "stuck dock icon" issue. When the first packet goes
 * through the interface DLIL grabs a reference to the thread that submits the
 * packet and holds it until the interface is destroyed. By submitting this
 * dummy we make DLIL grab the thread of a non-GUI process.

 * @returns VBox status code.
 * @param   pIfNet      The interface that will hold the reference to the calling
 *                      thread. We submit dummy as if it was coming from this interface.
