Description Henri Hennebert 2004-08-23 14:30:22 UTC 
FreeBSD running under VMWare ESX server 2.1.1 - virtual network adapter
defined as 'vlance'

I upgrade a VM from 5.2-CURRENT (Aug 23 2004) to 5.3-BETA1.

In 5.2-CURRENT lnc driver output, from time to time:
lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
but the network connection to/from the VM was OK

In 5.3-BETA1 I get the same error but this time fallowed by:
last message repeated 1432 times (for example)
and the network is completely unusable.

How-To-Repeat: I reboot the VM, the problem is the same; other VM have access to the
world without problem.
