The driver cannot allocate sufficient address space for resources. These

the upper protocol layers are generating packets faster than the driver can
transmit them on the Ethernet and is usually selfcorrecting.
The device has dropped an incoming packet because it had no buffer space for
it. This is most likely due to the driver being under a heavy networking load.
