Can't map mbuf

I thought I got my firewall going, and then I still get an error in blue seemingly randomly, which says: re1: can't map mbuf (error 22). It will make the firewall inoperable and I have to reboot it.

I asked another forum regarding this error, and nobody has much of a fix except that it seems to be related to the Realtek gigabit NIC. One guy set his back down to 100 base T and it worked okay. I have done the same to both NICs, and no troubles yet, however I am concerned about this error when I put it on my network.

Any experience with this error? Is there anywhere I can look in the system to try and resolve it?

This looks like a traffic-volume related error. We are looking into the issue - let us know if you have any occurrences of this at the 100Mbits/sec speed.

the realtek cards, in my experience, are garbage. you might try upgrading to the latest version of obsd and see if the bug in the driver has been fixed, but I would just swap it out with another vendor's gige card.
