Hi,
I am having similar problems with FreeBSD5.3 and rev.4 of the USB Speedtouch modem (ENOBUFS errors when exceeding a certain combined bandwidth in down/upload). I have however had no luck in finding any solution either in the mailing list or using google. The only information I have seen about the problem is in the pppoa2.c source code where it says: /* * We sometimes run out of mbufs doing simultaneous * up- and down-loads on FreeBSD. We should find out * why this is, but for now... */ Anyone been able to solve this or is it still an open issue?
