What does the message "no buffer space" mean exactly?

We get this message every few weeks - especially when using something like
IPFW, tcpdump or trafshow. Few minutes after this message all networking
functions collaps and the machine is not reachable over network any more.

The machine is the main gateway of a mid-sized network. It is running
FreeBSD 2.2.2. The network interface is a 3Com ISA Card. The machine is a
P5/200Mhz, 128 MB RAM, Adaptec Wide SCSII.

Will this problem disappear with a PCI card. Are there some OS settings
that do influence the number and size of the related buffers?

Thanks in advance

Richard
