That is what the error message means. However, the driver was able to
handle 900k-1M load on a 486 when I wrote without maxing out the cpu so
there's something wrong somewhere. It might be the sis driver though, I
don't know much about that but I've not heard good things about them.
The lance does most of it's work on the chip so all that the CPU
does is copy the buffers into an mbuf, which shouldn't put much load on
the cpu.

Is it possible for you to do some testing on that box by disabling each
interface in turn and doing some load testing on each individually?

   Unfortunatly, I can't even ping out this interface at the moment,
   something seems to be quite broken, and I'm pretty sure its something
   I've done :-)

   Once I have the solution, I'll post it back to the list.


   Thanks again,

   Anthony

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.

Can you send the the dmesg output and pciconf -v -l

kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no reviece buffer QWE

2003-06-11 Thread Anthony Wyatt
Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of hand building a FreeBSD 5.1 CURRENT #2 box.  I now have a 
booting system that I can log onto and use, but my network interface does not work :-(

I get lots of:
kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no recieve buffer

and the occasional
kernel: lnc0: Device timeout -- resetting

I really don't know what to look for, however there are a couple of things that 
may be related:

1) I have no swap
2) I have not configured anything in particular in /etc, just copied it from my build 
tree and added a fstab
3) /bin /boot /sbin and /usr are all RO

I'm sure its probably under my nose, but I need someone to point out what it is :-)

Thanks,
Anthony
