But on my Broadcom device using NDISulator. When I moved my laptop over to FreeBSD I found no drivers for my miniPCI broadcom card... so I ran NDISulator. It worked well for the most part... but I did notice the 'No buffer space available' errors. I was making an exodus from Windows anyways and I decided I'd rather not drag along some drivers, so I moved to an Atheros miniPCI card. It is supported by native drivers. I have had no trouble with them. Have you tried the FreeBSD drivers for the atheros device? If your determined to use NDISulator... theres a fair amount of info out there. googling for "Project Evil" and/or NDISulator will provide some insight. I have seen posts regarding this particular error... with suggested solutions... but I bailed on the broadcom device. > > I've been looking around to try to find a solution, > but no luck.
