For the record, I have an ultra 16 combo card and:

Nov 19 13:35:33 fieber-john /kernel: ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 2307
Nov 27 19:17:26 fieber-john /kernel: ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 2112

It has only happened twice, and I have not noticed any ill effects.
The system is about 1 or 2 snapshots before 2.1.
