* situation: I used 3c509 Combo ISA ethernet card in some of my FreeBSD routers. *result: - in heavy traffic, "no buffer space available" messages appeared in syslogd. - the card become unable to receive/transmit packet, after that *temporary (quick) solution: reboot the machine whenever 'no buffer space available' messages start to show up in syslogd. *permanent solution: - replace the 3c509 cards with NE2000 cards (or anything), - put the 3c509 cards in non router machines (e.g: windoze box'). *question: - is there a way to use 3c509 cards in FreeBSD ? patches ? otherwise the cards will spend their lives in windoze box :-( - 3COM 3c509 driver is listed as (buggy) in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT. Is this what it means as (buggy) ? -wasz- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
