    Is there anything I can do to help this:

    $

    This is from the WPC54GS Driver I used the NDISulator on.

    What happens is every so often, the card will start to not respond, and a
    ping will give a "No Buffer Space".

    ifconfig ndis0 down
    ifconfig ndis0 up

    will fix it for a while.

    I can provide whatever is needed.

    I've sent the driver to wpaul@ in the past, but have not received a reply.

    Thanks!

    LER
