Subject:   [HELP] sendto:No buffer space available

My machine has two net interface cards, fxp0 and acl0, but acl0 is down,
only fxp0 is working.

When I send raw packets through fxp0, it gives the error: sendto: No buffer
space available.

I have googled, but I found no answer. The netstat -m result is:

67/1223/1290 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
64/340/404/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
64/320 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache)

0/0/0/6400 9k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
0/0/0/3200 16k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
144K/1653K/1798K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total)

0/5/6656 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max)
0 requests for sfbufs denied
0 requests for sfbufs delayed
0 requests for I/O initiated by sendfile
0 calls to protocol drain routines

And the ifconfig gives that:

alc0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
    nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>

The core code of sending packets is as follows:

while (num_of_tries-- > 0)
    {
        if (sendto
                (s, datagram, iph->ip_len, 0, (struct sockaddr *) &servaddr,
                 sizeof (servaddr)) < 0)
        {
            fprintf (stderr, "Error in sendto:%s\n", strerror(errno));
            exit (1);
        }
        else
        {
            /*usleep(30);*/
            if (ft == 0)
            {
                fprintf (stderr,

"[****************]\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b");
                ft = 1;
            }

            if ((numtries % modval) == 0)
                fprintf (stderr, ".");

        }
    }

When I uncomment the sentence: usleep(30), the error disapears. But I want
to send packets in high speed, what should I do?

Btw, the packets are raw packets. So I thought maybe the kernel send some
packets to the net interface card alc0 which doesn't work.

How can I bind raw socket with device fxp0????

Thanks in advance.
