Yes but...there were no high network loads. Just me typing into ssh.

STOP PRESS....FIX...

That may well be so, but I rebuilt the kernel with the optional MMIO on the
rhine driver, and the messages have disappeared.

I have also used wget to fetch a 100Mb file at an average 1.02Mb/s and it
worked flawlessly and still no warnings in dmesg.
