Those are harmless debug messages that say, "it is time to transmit

For now, if you know the real inteface, you can set the ioctl by hand
using the hwstamp_ctl program. Then, just hack ptp4l to skip over the
ioctl, and it might work for you.

I think it would be nicer if the kernel did this for us automatically,
but I'll have to take this up on the netdev list.
