I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE onto a clients Compaq Pentium with a Compaq (ThunderLAN) Network adapter. After a day of network usage the network hung. A ping from the server to another computer on the network resulted in the error: ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available The commands: ifconfig tl0 down ifconfig tl0 up freed up the network and all was ok. On investigating the problem database I found kern/6694 which indicates the same problem, with which the answer was that there was a problem with the ep driver, and that increasing NMBCLUSTERS was a workaround. If this was increased will I still eventually run out of buffers and still require the ifconfig commands? Is it possible that there is a problem with the tl driver? Any help would be most appreciated, and thanks for a great operating system.. Thanks in advance.
