It's a buffer cache problem, dealing with the fragmentation of an internal
resource. The fix for it and the "panic kmem ..." bug is to insert the
following line before line 171 (" if (nbuf == 0) ...") in machdep.c:
bufpages = min(NKMEMCLUSTERS/2, bufpages); /* XXX */
And my systems was replaced ne drivers by the idea of following
article. NE driver of 0.1 was too slow when files get into local SCSI
disk via ethernet.

|Below is a diff for the original net2 NE2000 driver, so that the driver can
|be used with both NE1000 and NE2000 or compatible interface cards. The type of
|the card is determined during the boot in the autoconfiguration phase, so it is
|not necessary to specify it at compile time.
