My 3COM 3C509-TP ISA card (ep) does, too. The network activity on ep0 stops almost invariably when I use Netscape on another Win95 PC and try to download something big which imposes a load on the network continuously. It also stops when using Acroread. The symptom is exactly the same as Mr. Kimball's one, that is, some programs including ping report that there is no buffer space available, and also ifconfig ep0 shows that OACTIVE attribute is set on the interface; does this ring a bell to anyone? I CC'ed this message to FreeBSD-current mailing list because I had not seen this problem until the world was rebuilt with a recent -current source tree. This problem was first seen about a week ago.
