I have reproduced the problem and ifconfig'd it down then back up and it came back on the network just fine. Where does that leave us? I have yet to add the NMBCLUSTERS to the kernel because i do not know how to recompile the damn thing yet!

Jason Middleton; bp@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: no buffer space available (outcome of netstat -m) What device are you using? What is the interface you ifconfig'd down and back up? Jason, can you also contribute? Boris, if you're reading this, if you see that both these gentlemen have the same interface, perhaps we have a winner? I've been unable to find the problem as of yet (frankly, I've had little time to look too deeply). Regards, Bosko.
