We'd need to see the exact message to be sure, but I don't think there's
anything we can do. The receive buffer, if the message's talking about
what I think it is, is on the card itself, so adding more host RAM
won't help it.

More host RAM might help if you're spending a lot of time swaping to disk
(more stuff could stay resident at a time), but that's a long shot.

Take care,
