What type of card is this, exactly? (i.e. name, model number, etc.) There is some trickery in the NetBSD driver that involves "Vortex-based (3c59x pci, eisa) and Boomerang (3c900)" which allow FDDI-sized 4500 byte packets. According to the NetBSD driver's comments, these cards commands dealing wi

I have a busy 4.1.1-RELEASE nfs server that stops responding at its ep interface every hour or so. Pings to hosts on that network respond with "sendto: no buffer space available". I've recompiled with MAXUSERS up at 128 and NMBCLUSTERS at 32768, both of which seem plenty high. The problem goes awa
