I am seeing the same thing on a server using bonding with two ethernet interfaces. I have two different cards (e1000, acenic) and on every boot one of the card fails. The bond0 interface still works with only one card by I also have to do an rmmod, modprobe to get both cards working. So I have the same error in a different setup.
