I get this all the time on my FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE system, which is a P75 with a
lnc NIC.  The man page does say this driver is one of the more verbose ones,
and I think the message about no recieve buffer is just that the system cannot
keep up with the incoming data, and so there is no buffer left.   Certainly
on my system doing NAT across lnc0 and sis0, the system uses 30-40% CPU just
to act as a router!  I still get 600KB/s through it, which I have heard is 
fairly reasonable from a 10Mbit ISA network card.
