Hello all,

   Sometimes, when I really push my network interface to its limit, I
get the message:

rtk0: unable to allocate Tx cluster

   ...on the console.

   I thought I would do some good for mankind, so I installed tor -- as
a server. Pretty soon I found out that being a server in the tor network
implies *very* *much* traffic through your node.

   This *really* pushed my network interface to its limits. When I came
home a few minutes ago, I found that the console was filled with the
message above, and it was spewing out new ones all the time. The ONLY
thing I can do with the system is to switch terminals
(Ctrl+Alt+F{1,2,3,4}), but I can not type any user name to login. It is
not reachable via ssh.

   So, I need to reset it. :-(

   (Pushing the power button got me a bunch of "syncing disks ... 4 4 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ..." and some message I didn't have time to read.)

   Is there some known problem with the rtk driver, or is it the chip on
my network card?

--=20
Kind Regards,
Jan Danielsson
