I see the same on my G4 silver at home... The G4 is connected to my girl friend's iMac via a direct cable. The messages appear when the iMac is switched off (so the G4 sees a "dead" connection) and disappear as soon as the iMac configures its ethernet port (Linux or MacOS).

I don't think this is a real error condition, but it would be great if we could suppress these messages (it's about ~80% of my /var/log/messages)...

Hth,
