If you're compiling your own kernels, it may be easier to just comment
out or delete the printf() around like 365 of src/sys/dev/ic/am7990.c
(assuming it's an le0 that's generating the messages).  People will
argue that these messages mean something is wrong with the network, but
I see them all the time and the NetBSD machines are the only ones to
complain.
