Be aware that if you get this error message right on startup it may be that the TSE MAC driver was not able to initialize its initial descriptors. You need to verify that its really giving the message because of excess traffic.

If it is a traffic problem. You can modify the number of large buffers that the InterNiche stack uses in the ipconfig.h file and see if that helps. Also, you should make sure that you are enabling the MAC address filtering within the TSE MAC so that unwanted packets aren't being passed up to the software layer.
