This manifests itself for me (iwn, Intel 5100) as up to five "No buffer space available" messages while pinging an external host, almost exactly 300 seconds apart. This seems to only happen when using 11n, and can be worked around by "ifconfig wlan0 -ht" or similar.
Instrumenting ieee80211_output.c shows that ENOBUFFS is being returned by the IEEE80211_NODE_PWR_MGT check in ieee80211_vap_pkt_send_dest(). It is believed (though not yet confirmed) that r257754 will fix this issue; this PR is to provide extra referenced information for the MFC. >How-To-Repeat: Attach to an 11n network, ping something remote. >Fix: r257754, hopefully. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
