It's an out-of-memory condition. Your system temporary runs short of memory
and the driver starts to drop packets.
Check you `freepages' settings.

If the "can't fill rx buffer" are printed permanently, it's a pure
configuration problem. If the messages stop but the network doesn't revive,
it may be a problem. Let me know if so, I'll try to debug it.
