I get this exact same error message about once a night. (I see
them most often in pairs or by themselves on the console in the
morning when I arrive to begin work. My /var/log/syslog shows
them in pairs, usually seconds apart, then another pair a few
hours later.

It doesn't help me (and many others) to refer to Slack distributions.
Many of us don't use Slack, but we all use the same kernel code.
Everything but "slack 2.4", and "slack 3.0" in the above report
meant something to me.

I doubt it. I have a 3c509 card, and I'm running 1.3.82, and I still
get them. They don't seem to affect anything else, though.
