Hello there,
Does anyone know the cause and a potential fix for the following error messages reported in syslogd by my eepro100 card?

The machine is running under heavy CPU + memory + network load. It seems that the card has problems finding the required resources. Is there a way to "guarantee" that the card will have the necessary resources even at high loads?

I'm using kernel version 2.2.14.

Thank you,
Sincerely
Kostas Nikoloudakis

I'm using kernel version 2.2.14.

Try using 2.2.18 - lots of work has been done to get the eepro100 working properly.

The driver can't allocate buffers for incoming packets. Increase /proc/sys/vm/freepages numbers to start freeing the memory earlier and reserve more memory for allocation bursts.
