This is not a bug at all. When calling ifconfig it tries quite a lot of
possible network interfaces. net-pf-5 is appletalk, net-pf-4 is ipx and
net-pf-3 is ax.25. If you don't use these add entries
alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
to your /etc/conf.modules file and the messages will disappear.
