This has been discussed before.  I could not find it by searching
FreeBSD.org.

I am running 2.1.5.

When I "ping xxxx", I get "No buffer space available".  This happened
after several lost packets.  "xxxx" is any node byt the local host.
Rebooting clears the problem until another group of lost packets.

What was the fix for this?
