One more voice. The problems started for me with the patch to the ep 
driver just prior to the release of V2.1.5. I have an old 3c509
(bootprom socket, not PNP aware) running at I/O=300 and INT=15.

device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 15 vector epintr

I get "no more bufferspace" or something similar. Ping from the BSD 
machine is not working but i get a response when sending a ping from
another machine.

Cheers
