- Dave,
-
- The ibuffail counts are not necessarily anything to worry about. An
- ibuf allocation failure occurs whenever there are more than five
- allocation requests in a single interrupt. Sometimes a noisy modem can
- do this. So you really want some sort of limit on interrupt-time memory
- allocation so you can limit how much memory gets gobbled up by a big
- burst of noise.
-
- If you really do need more than five buffers per interrupt you can
- always change the #define NIBUFS line in config.h and recompile. (I
- know, I know, it should be a run-time parameter...)
