You can ignore it; it an advisory message only. The chipset used for sis0 needs some different parameters if you use a short cable - I believe these come from the manufacturer. In fact, with an sis0 chipset I always get this message even when using a cable which I believe is not "short", but everything works just fine. I'm sure that google would tell you more. Unless you have actual ethernet errors (e.g. as shown by "netstat -i -I sis0") then ignore it. --Alex
