Add
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
to /etc/modules.conf (or conf.modules) to disable the messages.
This occurs because ifconfig tries to create IPX (pf-4) and AppleTalk
(pf-5) sockets, but the kernel doesn't support these protocols.
Recent versions of ifconfig (e.g. net-tools-1.50) don't do this.
