I've got my hands on a new Dell 9300 Inspiron laptop. I'm having some strange
networking problems. OS is SLES-9.
lspci lists the nic as :
BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
The module that was loaded (selected automatically) is b44. On boot, eth0 is
assigned a dhcp address, and the nameservers are properly populated
in /etc/resolv.conf. So from this I know I am getting some connectivity.
If I try to ping a device on my local subnet, I get:
Destination Host Unreachable for a few hundred times
Then I get very slow ping times(in the 10's of seconds) for a few hundred
times
Then I get sendmsg: No buffer space available
I have tried using the bcm4400 drivers, and no luck there. What other
suggestions would you have.
Thanks,
Ron

Broadcom has downloadable linux drivers on their web site:

If you haven't tried them, it might be worth a go.
