I think this is in the Error Messages section of the FAQ, btw, but the
above is usually the result of booting after having EtherTalk enabled
under MacOS.  The ethernet card is still handling a packet or something
like that when it's probed during boot, so it emits the above warning.
This is harmless as long as you don't see it continuously while you use
it.

I hope this clears things up.

Later.
