I have an old Classic that I use as a ipf/ipnat box. The box used to run
OpenBSD 2.8, but I "upgraded" to NetBSD 1.5.2 this weekend and since then
I've been getting some strange errors on the external interface (qe0). I
use the builtin interface as the internal link.

The box is running fine, there are no lockups or performance problems but
I am getting a lot of these in /var/log/messages:

qe0: rint: no packets; rb index 43; status 0x80000800
qe0: rint: no packets; rb index 52; status 0x80000800
qe0: rint: no packets; rb index 66; status 0x80000800
qe0: rint: no packets; rb index 70; status 0x80000800

The "rb index" number varies from about 0 - 255 and the entries
appears several times a second when there is traffic on qe0.

This did not happen in OpenBSD so I doubt that the card it self is broken.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

dmesg follows below:
