Those are perfectly normal diagnostic messages... what they mean is:

	Umm, some host on the network is transmitting ethernet
	frames that look like garbage.  Thought I'd let you know.

There's nothing wrong with the HP.  I used to see quite a lot of these
in the 1.0 days when I had a 433 plugged into the same wire as an aging
Sequent Balance.  Not long after, the Balance's SCED croaked.

FWIW, these diagnostic messages were found to be annoying by a large
enough number of people that we conditionalized them on #ifdef LEDEBUG
in a later version of the driver.

Ciao.
