I have the same message during the boot cycle on the nanoengine that I am
using running kernel 2.4.2. This check is reading out the PCI device 
and vendor ID from the PCI configuration space on the network adapter
chip and comparing it to what value it expects.

For some reason that I have not investigated, this init routine in
eepro100_bse.c is called twice, and the error message is generated on the
second pass. In short, don't worry about it, network functionality is not
affected.
