Sounds like you need to increase NMBCLUSTERS. Try putting:
option NMBCLUSTERS=1024 # need lots for heavy network utilization
In your kernel config file and rebuild the kernel (you'll have to
do a make clean in the compile dir since this is a #define).
The default value is 256 (and 512 if option GATEWAY is specified).
