The reason they're not in the FAQ is, quite frankly, aesthetics.  Having
multiple-line error messages doesn't format very well in linuxdoc-sgml ;-)
As for what they mean, I'm not entirely sure, but you can always Read the
Source ;-)

However, the above lines almost always result from having the Apple
networking stacks access the card before NetBSD boots.  If you boot your
Mac with extensions off, the above usually doesn't occur.
