oh right, that was fixed after 4.5; you can build from the -current port on 4.5, that will fix it. > netstat -m > 9405 mbufs in use: > 9393 mbufs allocated to data that is way too high for what the system is doing. any way to try it with the ral(4) wireless card disabled to see if that makes any difference? (I have a feeling the wired RTL8139 rl(4) is more likely to have the problem but I guess those are going to be harder to disable..)
