This is an excellent point and one that I was about to suggest after I
found out that it was a PC164.  If the tulip driver is enabled, there is a
patch that needs to be applied for those to go away.  The reason they are
there is because the adapter itself misaligns things (assumptions,
assumptions...) by default.
