The card is a 10Mbit 3c590 pci combo using the BNC adapter. When sending data fast, it stops sending. Doing a ping when this happens results in "sendto: No buffer space available" error messages. Can't find any error messages otherwise that can explain what happens (/var/log/messages, dmesg, ifconfig vx0 debug). The amount of data needed for this to happen is usually very little (cat'ing a large file while been logged in on the machine across the network for instance, or usually during the for 50kb of data sent across a ftp transfer). Recieving large data seems to be without problems (get on ftp for instance). Anyone got any good ideas on what the problem is? I'm not really very familiar with the FreeBSD source, and I need this thing up and running within friday. For the specific task this machine should do I would probably prefer FreeBSD, but otherwise I'll have to try NetBSD (which I'm more familiar with) or Linux (in case of extreme desperation).
