Due to me apparently offending Thor (deity of thunder and lightning), and therefore having to go into my sparepartsbox, I now have a

in my box. The card/driver seems to work just fine, however it spams my /var/log/messages with

The "adress" seems to correspond with where the memory is located. Any pointers as to what I can do to mute the bugger?
You could try "ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0x0" and hope that this helps, but that's pure luck :-)
I have tried to use the tulip driver, but alas ref bnc (bnc#537016) it does not work.

That's of course very old :-) But the code did not change since then... I did look into the kernel source and the output in question is a pr_debug(). Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt says something about pr_debug() and how to control it, but I did not try it yet. Maybe reading up on /usr/src/linux/Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt will be helpful...
