I get this all the time on my FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE system, which is a P75 with a lnc NIC. The man page does say this driver is one of the more verbose ones, and I think the message about no recieve buffer is just that the system cannot keep up with the incoming data, and so there is no buffer left. Certainly on my system doing NAT across lnc0 and sis0, the system uses 30-40% CPU just to act as a router! I still get 600KB/s through it, which I have heard is fairly reasonable from a 10Mbit ISA network card. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
