I've got a 3Com 3C509 server NIC that every now and then will simply stop working for approximately 10 - 30 minutes. All throughout this period, I receive the error message: xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped! xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped! The machine averages about 600kbps in and out, with approximately 3000 to 3500 concurrent connections when this occurs. My question is has anyone seen this problem before? If so, do you know of a fix for this? I've seen this problem before on other versions of FreeBSD in other systems. I know it's not the core OS, because we've pushed similar amounts of bandwidth and connections through other NICs without problem. Either it's the card or the driver. I'd try to look at the driver code if I could, but I'm no coder. -John Reddy -- My public PGP key may be found at http://www.lightning.net/~jreddy John Patrick Reddy Sr. System Administrator Lightning Internet Services, LLC.
