Do yourself a favour and get a 3com card (3c905C will do). I have had a few
machines with the fxp card, on board and off. Some work perfectly, some
dont. I have yet to find a definitavie solution to this problem. I find the
above 3com card to be the most reliable so far.

Subject: Buffers fill on network card causing it to hang
I am having an issuse with FreeBSD 4.5 Stable. I just sync my source and
make a new kernel and world, using the generic kernel, but added support for
ipfw. The setup is a single x86 (AMD K6-2 300Mhz, 180 megs ram, IDE, Intel
Pro 100+ Ethernet, Generic Linksys ethernet).
The machine is being used as a firewall/file server amoung other things.
The issuse that I am having is that the fxp0 interface (intel nic) which
hosts the internal network "over flows it buffers". After a large amount of
network traffic the nic will hang and I have to go though the other
interface (or console!) and manually take it down/up (ie: ifconfig down;
ifconfig up) to get it work again, or reboot the entire system. When it is
in this hung state and I try and ping (the internal network), I get the
error message:
PING jenny (192.168.17.20): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No buffer space available
ping: sendto: No buffer space available
This was in a high stress network, but had to remove it (and take it home!)
to try and get it working... Sadly FreeBSD has become a "banned" OS in that
envoirment due to this issuse (they think it is to "unsupported and
unstable" to be in a production envoirment, I still like it anyways!).
Currently it is being used as my personal firewall/fileserver at home and
has another clean install of 4.5 release synced to 4.5 stable.
I have gotten a couple suggests from the questions@freebsd.org, but no real
answer on why this keeps happening. I also seen posts of this though google
searches, but have yet to find if it is a configuration issuse, hardware
issuse or Bug. I can rule out hardware as I tried another 4 other nics that
have been working in other boxes. So either config issuse or bug. I am
willing to test differant configurations on this, but have tried everything
I could think of and eveyrthing that has been suggested. Or can anyone
confirm that this is infact a bug?
I tried setting keep alive to both '0' and '1', both had no effect.
NMBCLUSTERS has been increased to varies levels 32768 which should be more
than enough. This had no effect.
Any ideas? I will try anything. Is there any info that would be helpful in
debuging this?
Below is included random bits of informs, everything appears to be fine by
my eyes:
(also is there anyway to look at the buffers that the ping command is
referencing? I thought it was `netstat -m`, but that says it is using 0% of
the buffer when I am having this problem).
