The Ethernet card has lost some data because the machine wasn't fast enough
to copy the incoming packets off the Ethernet card's RAM.  This happens
quite often on slower machines with cheap Ethernet cards.  Nothing is really
wrong with your system if you see these messages.

NFS should recover from these, though.  Might help if you used NFS over TCP.
