This is a duplicate of 856314, I am adding it here because the original poster has not submitted the apport info to the other bug report.

I experience intermittent network lock-ups when using the brcmsmac driver with broadcom bcm4313 wireless NIC. Pinging to a remote machine returns the following message

ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

Unloading a reloading the module may temporarily fix the problem.

I have noticed that the lock-up frequency varies with the access point. I have a Belkin F5D8236-4 that I experience frequent lock ups with. Typically I have to use the updated drivers from http://linuxwireless.org to connect to it under linux 2.6.x. On most other access points I can work all day without a problem.
