So, I have gotten this message a couple times now:

Sep  4 09:11:32 www /kernel: xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!
Sep  4 09:11:32 www last message repeated 15 times

And it is:

    Aug  9 07:36:59 www /kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL>
    port 0xdc00-0xdc3f irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
    Aug  9 07:36:59 www /kernel: xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:cf:fa:b4
    Aug  9 07:36:59 www /kernel: miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0

On a:

    www 1427 # uname -a
    FreeBSD www.uncommoncon.com 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21
    10:54:49 GMT 2001 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386


Is this some memory leak or bug?  Or is this some net-attack?
It is on a machine on the inside of the Firewall, so I assume
it is a memory leak (or so) right now.

Well, OK, so it comes from tl_newbuf() when mbufs can't be had.
Question is, why can't we find an mbuf?  Did someone lie about
an incoming ether frame size?  Just flat ran out of mbufs?

Thanks,
jdl
