This is a generic problem with the deqna. The receive buffer ring
gets filled up so some packets get lost. I gets these messages
frequently when having medium-loaded systems with NFS, but never
when using a delqa card. It doesn't hurt to get them but you can try
to increase the receive buffer pool in if_qe.c. I don't have any
programming manuals for deqna so I don't know how much it can be
det to.
