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?
