Pandaboard NIC driver drops connections when under heavy load. This is a workaround fix to resolve the issue.

# The driver smsc95xx, used by both Beagleboard XM and Pandaboard uses

# turbo mode by default, that enables multiple frames per Rx transaction,

# increasing performance but consuming more kernel memory.

# To avoid page allocation failures and smsc kevent drops we need to

# increase the minimum free system memory in the kernel to a higher value.

# If you’re still having page allocation failures, try to increase this

# value to 12288 or even higher. You could also disable the driver’s turbo

# mode, but decreasing the ethernet performance.

# If you encounter problems due to the settings please file a bug

# against the jasper-initramfs ubuntu package.

# For more details please check http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746137
