it happens also when the powersave mode definitly is off, on the server, on=

the client and on the AP and is not only an issue on WL cards but also on=20
other NICs

the problem appears more frequent when you have cybercoffees connected wher=
e=20
games cause high udp/icmp broadcast traffic and probably attract similar=20
traffic coming back from the outside

imediatly you see then such error messages you posted and services like nam=
ed,=20
dhcpd, squid and other which use udp ports may be compromised

what I posted certainly is a valid workaround on your server where the prob=
lem=20
ocurrs,  you can set values runtime to your needs and see no more errors=20
instantly

sysctl net.inet.udp.recvspace=3D65536
sysctl net.inet.udp.maxdgram=3D131072=20

in addition you should consider blocking all broadcasts and 0's on your=20
network which will help a lot, you also may consider ingress filtering for=
=20
smurf like traffic on your router in order to prevent this problems
