FreeBSD 4.10 Stable on VMWare 4.5.1 - network problem
Hello
I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.10 - STABLE on VMWare 4.5.1 and some
strange errors/warnings are showing up from time to time in the log file:
Jul 28 14:43:25 vmware /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
Jul 28 16:02:48 vmware /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
Jul 28 17:47:51 vmware /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
Jul 28 17:54:08 vmware /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
Jul 28 18:52:00 vmware /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It seems that vmware is emulating a 10mbit NIC, and the messages pop up when the traffic gets heavy. It seems that they are only warning messages, as everything works fine. (ignore them) -- What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nath Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" don't you understand?
