That shouldn't happen but fortunately it is harmless, as the driver
traps it. Usual reason is having a noisy bus, or having the card
on irq 7 or 15, and thus receiving bogus interrupt events.

These messages will vanish when you move to 99 or 100 or wherever it
was that Donald's updated ultra driver went in. Note that the new PIO
support added may be broken, but seeing as you are already using your
EtherEZ card in sh-mem mode, this should be a non-issue.
