I'm pretty sure this is in the FAQ from redhat, because i've seen it here
before. These are modules needed for the IPX and appletalk network
protoclols.
Add these lines to /etc/conf.modules to remove these errors.
alias net-pf-4 off # if you don't use the ipx module
alias net-pf-5 off # if you don't use the appletalk module
This should fix the problem.
