I too had these problems. But on my Broadcom device using NDISulator.
When I moved my laptop over to FreeBSD I found no drivers for my miniPCI
broadcom card... so I ran NDISulator.
It worked well for the most part... but I did notice the 'No buffer
space available' errors. I was making an exodus from Windows anyways
and I decided I'd rather not drag along some drivers, so I moved to an
Atheros miniPCI card. It is supported by native drivers. I have had no
trouble with them. Have you tried the FreeBSD drivers for the atheros
device?
If your determined to use NDISulator... theres a fair amount of info out
there. googling for "Project Evil" and/or NDISulator will provide some
insight. I have seen posts regarding this particular error... with
suggested solutions... but I bailed on the broadcom device.
