unless you're getting those last 3 lines at some time other than boot, you
can safely ignore that message.  what probably happened was that the card
was still sending/receiving packets at the time you booted, and thus one
last packet managed to get lodged in there.  the ethernet card should
still work just fine, right?  many people have said that simply disabling
appletalk will take care of the above message, btw.
