Actually, I just checked, and the MACE driver only prints framing and
checksum errors if it's compiled in debug mode (and the MACE series of
kernels are all compiled that way). It does print collision errors
regardless of debug mode though. From what I hear from some tech-net
folks, they're not really interesting enough to be worth a syslog message,
so I'll change it to only print the collision errors in debug mode.

So, you can ignore any framing errors, frame control checksum errors, and
collision errors :)
