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

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.
